The Los Angeles Dodgers snapped their three-game losing streak by jumping all over Sean Manaea in a 12-1 win against the San Diego Padres. They were led by home runs from Trea Turner, Mookie Betts, Justin Turner and Will Smith.

Back in the lineup after begrudgingly accepting a night off for rest, Trea Turner clubbed a two-run homer in his first at-bat. That came after Betts led off the bottom of the first inning with a slicing fly ball that dropped and rolled by a diving Juan Soto for a triple.

Will Smith hit an RBI double off Manaea in the third inning, and Betts broke the game open in the fourth with a three-run homer. That gave Betts a new career high with 33 and tied him with Joc Pederson for the Dodgers franchise record of most home runs out of the leadoff spot.

Betts played second base for the fifth time (third start) this season. Although it was not a double play, he connected with Turner on a nice toss to get a force out at second base in the third inning.

Justin Turner then chased Manaea from the game with a two-run home run in the fifth inning that also extended his hitting streak to 13 games. Turner is batting .429/.473/.694 during that span.

Freeman kept adding onto his MLB lead in hits with an RBI single in the sixth inning, and Smith followed with a three-run homer.

Dodgers pitching

Julio Urías allowed just one run over six innings on a Manny Machado homer. He was followed by Blake Treinen for his first appearance since April, which was a 1-2-3 inning.

Craig Kimbrel also continued to fare well with “Let it Go” as his entrance song, and Hanser Alberto extended his MLB record by pitching in the ninth inning. Alberto collected his first career strikeout in the process.
