LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Mookie Betts hit a three-run home run in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers extended their winning streak to four games with a 7-5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

CJ Abrams reached 30 home runs for the first time in his career and Harry Ford had a two-run double with two runs scored as Washington lost its fourth consecutive game.<\/p>\n

In his second inning of work, Nationals left-hander Will Dion (1-2) gave up Betts\u2019 home run after Alex Call singled and Edman walked, both with two outs.<\/p>\n
