Miguel Vargas and Mookie Betts power reinforced Dodgers to win over Cardinals
The Dodgers found a kindred spirit in the St. Louis Cardinals Friday night, a fellow defending division champion that has underachieved and underwhelmed for the first month of the season.
The heart of a Dodgers lineup that ranks second in baseball in homers but has struggled to produce runs consistently, got a significant boost with Friday’s return of No. 3 hitter Will Smith from a concussion and cleanup man Max Muncy from the paternity list. After Betts’ leadoff homer in the bottom of the first, Freddie Freeman singled, Muncy walked, and Jason Heyward rolled an RBI single to right to make it 2-2.
