Both had started the season slowly, but Betts hit his first two home runs of the season Friday night and Muncy homered and drove in two more runs with a bases-loaded single.
SAN DIEGO — Video boards in major-league stadiums these days have grown nearly big enough to be seen from space. That makes it really difficult to ignore the information contained on them.
The Dodgers were gifted five walks in the first four innings by Padres starter Nick Martinez but turned none of them into runs. Instead, they took a more DIY approach to scoring when Betts and Muncy each hit solo home runs in the fifth inning, welcome reminders of the contributions the Dodgers are expecting from them this season.
That turned around an early Padres lead. They got to Urias for a run in the second – but nearly didn’t.
