Justin Turner and Chris Taylor hit their first home runs of the season, and Tyler Anderson wins his first game since replacing Andrew Heaney in the starting rotation.
LOS ANGELES ― The Dodgers played down to their last opponent of their last road trip. They had a chance to do so again Friday, when the Detroit Tigers visited Dodger Stadium to begin a five-game homestand.― a team that could, hit, run, field, and guarantee championships on the strength of a near-$300 million payroll. They seized an early lead en route to a 5-1 victory, halting a two-game losing streak before an announced crowd of 49,394.
The Dodgers’ defense was a comedy of errors while losing two of three games to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Friday, they turned two double plays and benefitted from two stellar catches by center fielder Cody Bellinger ― one coming in, one going back. “I came into this with the mindset that I’m going to do whatever’s asked of me,” said Anderson, who signed a one-year, $8 million contract with the Dodgers in March. “If it means starting more, I’ll do that. If I have to come out of the ’pen and piggyback or throw long, whatever. I just want to throw meaningful innings to help us win.”
The Dodgers never trailed after Turner’s two-run homer cleared the left-field fence in the first inning. Taylor’s homer sailed 60 feet longer than any other fly ball hit under a heavy marine layer. The Dodgers’ other four hits, and all six of the Tigers’ hits, were singles.
