WASHINGTON — The Dodgers got a big game from Mookie Betts, a good start from Walker Buehler, and plenty of help from their rest of their roster to cruise to a 9-4 win against the Nationals on Tuesday.
Betts hit two home runs, collected four RBIs and reached base four times. He is now the National League home run leader with 12.
Buehler gave up three runs (two earned) in a six-inning start, finishing his game by retiring 15 of the last 17 he faced.
The Dodgers also got contributions from Trea Turner (two-run homer), Chris Taylor (two-run homer) and Edwin Ríos, who went 2 for 5.
The team is now 29-13, has won eight of its last nine games, and clinched its third-straight series win.
