Javier Báez and Austin Meadows each drove in two runs and the Detroit Tigers snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over Los Angeles, spoiling a night when Clayton Kershaw became the Dodgers’ career strikeout leader.
Since the start of the live-ball era in 1920, Kershaw has the lowest career ERA and WHIP among starting pitchers with at least 1,500 innings. He is fourth among active players in strikeouts.
Betts began the Dodgers' first by driving Beau Brieskie's curveball over the wall in center field. It was Betts' third homer of the season and the 30th of his career when leading off.
