Lance Lynn was the star of the show for his Los Angeles debut as he gave up 3 solo homers to help his team en route to victory.

Zack Gelof went deep in the sixth. Brent Rooker homered on Lynn’s first pitch of the seventh.

Overall Lynn allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings, helping his team preserve the bullpen.

“It’s been quite some time since we had a starter get through seven,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It’s what we needed.”

The Dodgers had two runs in the seventh for a 6-3 lead. Betts homered 394 feet off Freddy Tarnok. Sam Long came in and surrendered a bases-loaded walk to James Outman that forced in Freeman.
