LOS ANGELES, CA - Los Angeles Dodgers hit four home runs and tallied 15 hits in a 13-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday at Dodger Stadium.

Mookie Betts went 3-for-5 with three RBIs and a two-run home run. David Peralta finished 2-for-4 with four RBIs to help the Dodgers win their fourth consecutive game.

“Complete contribution from everyone, 1 through 9,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It was fun to watch. David has been scuffling a little bit but his three-run homer got us off to a good start and got the momentum going for us.”

Will Smith got the Dodgers on the board in the bottom of the first inning with a two-out solo home run.

James Outman and Michael Vargas opened the second inning with walks. David Peralta followed with a three-run home run to give the Dodgers a 4-0 lead.

Jason Hayward hit a solo home run in the bottom of the third inning to extend the Dodgers’ lead 5-0. Kyle Schwarber hit a solo home run to cut the Dodgers’ lead to 5-1 in the top of the fourth inning.

Freddie Freeman joined the hit parade with a two-run single to give the Dodgers a 7-1 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning. Smith singled to right field and Freeman scored for an 8-1 lead.

Nick Castellanos had two hits, including a two-run single in the fifth inning to cut the deficit to 8-3. Betts added a run in the bottom of the fifth inning on a ground-rule RBI double.

Betts gave the Dodgers an 11-4 lead in the seventh inning with a 2-run home run to center field.

“We’ve had some guys hitting and some not,” Betts said. “Fortunately we were able to put it all together tonight.”

Vargas and Peralta both hit RBI singles in the bottom of the eighth inning to extend the Dodgers’ lead to 13-4.
