Dodgers' Bats Explode, Ohtani Hits 3-Run HR

0:00It's April 3rd. Welcome to MLB News today, powered by AI and ready for first pitch. The dodgers top of the lineup finally woke up in a big way, smashing the Washington Nationals 13-6 on Friday. Shohei Otani, Kyle Tucker, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman, the first four hitters all crushed home runs in that blowout win. It marked Tucker's first bomb since joining the team and Otani's initial RBI of the young season. Both stars have been ice cold through the first six games, with batting averages hovering around 160-208. But manager Dave Robert stayed chill, joking that Rome was in burning. The bats stayed quiet in the first two innings before exploding in the third. Otani ripped the three run homer to right field to tie things at three, and Betts followed right up with a two run shot. Nobody in the clubhouse panicked as Betts put it, calling it just a tough week that won't be their last. Pages added a two run homer in the fourth. Freeman went deep for two more in the fifth, and Tucker capped his three-hit night with a solo shot in the bus.

1:03Seventh. That crew combined for eight hits, four homers, ten RBI's, and six runs scored. The dodgers feasted on National Starter Miles Mikolas, hanging a career worst 11 earned runs on him in just four and a third innings. Now with this firepower unmarked early, LA lets prime to heat up as the season rolls on.
