Will Smith and Tommy Edman also homered for the defending World Series champions, who are 5-0 after beating the Cubs twice in last week’s Tokyo Series before sweeping Detroit in Chavez Ravine. The Dodgers are off to their best start since 1981, when they opened 6-0 and eventually won the World Series.

Catcher Jake Rogers led off the seventh with a triple. Right fielder Teoscar Hernandez appeared to catch the ball before it was jarred loose in his collision with the walls. The umpires ruled that he didn’t secure the ball before it popped out, and the call was upheld on review.

Freddie Freeman homered, doubled and drove in two runs and Will Smith and Tommy Edman also homered as the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the visiting Detroit Tigers with a 7-3 victory on Saturday night.
