Mookie Betts and Max Muncy powered the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night.
Betts hit a leadoff homer and Muncy had a go-ahead double in the third inning as Los Angeles won the opener.
Dodgers starter Dustin May (3-1) rebounded from a bumpy first inning to give up two runs on three hits over five innings with four walks and four strikeouts. Jason Heyward drove in two runs for Los Angeles, and rookie Miguel Vargas had a two-run homer.
Cardinals right-hander Jack Flaherty, who grew up in the Los Angeles area, allowed a season-high five runs over 4 2/3 innings while throwing 110 pitches. Flaherty slips to 2-3.
LHP Jordan Montgomery (2-3, 3.81 ERA) goes for St. Louis tonight, 7:15 with the pregame and the first pitch at 8:10 on KIRX.
