Pitcher Michael Grove delivered one of his best starts in his young career, only giving up one run as the Dodgers routed the Orioles 10-3 in Baltimore.
The second-inning outburst began in a hurry.
J.D. Martinez drew a leadoff walk. David Peralta followed with a single. Then Jason Heyward hammered a 2-and-0 fastball from Orioles starter Tyler Wells, launching his ninth homer of the season to straightaway center for a 3-0 lead.From there, the Dodgers tacked on a couple of more runs, getting RBI singles from Freddie Freeman and Will Smith.
Then, they turned the lead over to Grove, who delivered one of the better starts of his young career.After two seasons battling injuries and inconsistency, Mookie Betts is playing at a superstar level for the Dodgers. The right-hander gave up one run in the second after a leadoff walk and Aaron Hicks’ double, but blanked the Orioles the rest of the way, his first start of at least five innings and fewer than four runs since April 15.
The outing finished with a whimper, Grove getting pulled after a leadoff double and walk in the sixth inning.And from there, with the Dodgers adding four insurance runs in the seventh and another in the eighth, the game wasn’t in doubt again.
