SAN FRANCISCO—Max Muncy hit a grand slam and a three-run drive for his 10th career multi-homer game, Mookie Betts led off the game with a homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers got back to their slugging ways in a 9–1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night, April 10.
Muncy hit his third career grand slam and first since July 1, 2021, against Washington. His seven RBIs were a career high with his previous best of five done three times, the last on June 9, 2022.
Julio Urías (3–0) struck out eight, walked two and allowed one run on four hits over six innings. The star lefty received plenty of run support from a lineup that had homered in each of the first nine games before missing during Sunday’s 11–6 loss at Arizona.
Wilmer Flores homered leading off the fourth for San Francisco. That ended 13 scoreless innings tossed by Urías since he surrendered two runs on three hits in his initial three innings on opening day against the Diamondbacks.
Giants ace Logan Webb (0–3) struck out six over six innings but remained winless in a tough start to the year as the Giants played their first matchup against a National League team after facing the AL in the first eight games.
The Dodgers ended a three-game losing streak in which they gave up 29 runs in the last three matchups of a four-game series at Arizona that manager Dave Roberts chalked up to not pitching well.
Freddie Freeman singled in the third for a five-game hitting streak, while Betts added a pair of singles to his second home run of the year.
Los Angeles has won nine of the last 10 NL West crowns, including eight straight before the 107-win Giants edged the 106-win Dodgers on the season’s final day of 2021.
