Blake Snell delivered six scoreless innings and Kyle Tucker ended a lengthy home-run drought as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Washington Nationals 5-3 on Friday.

Snell allowed five hits and struck out seven to improve to 3-1. Washington opened the sixth inning with consecutive singles while Los Angeles led 4-0, but Snell retired the next three batters to end the threat.

Tucker then put the Dodgers ahead 5-0 with his 12th homer of the season, a solo shot off Venezuelan reliever Luis Perales. It was Tucker’s first home run at Dodger Stadium since mid-June and his first since Aug. 8.

Los Angeles had taken a 3-0 lead in the third inning against Nationals starter Jackson Kent, who fell to 1-3. Mookie Betts delivered an RBI single, and Teoscar Hernández followed with a two-run double.

The Dodgers added another run when designated hitter Alex Call doubled and scored from third after shortstop Nasim Nuñez dropped a ball hit by Tommy Edman, who reached first. The division leaders secured their fifth straight win over Washington since June 22, 2025, in the first game of the series.
