MIAMI — Getting started that early on a Sunday morning in South Florida should only involve mojitos and an omelet station.
But the Dodgers wiped the sleep from their eyes after their early wakeup call for a noon start Sunday (necessitated by a streaming broadcast on Peacock) and went to work. Mookie Betts and Trayce Thompson hit home runs in the first two innings and the Dodgers went on to beat the Miami Marlins 8-1.
If coffee and Red Bull hadn’t done the trick by game time, Betts provided a jolt with a home run to start the game.
