Ohtani, Muncy too much for Nationals

NEW YORK: Max Muncy hit a grand slam in the sixth and a three-run homer in the seventh to help hosts Los Angeles rally for a 13-7 win against Washington in the rubber game of their three-game series on Sunday.

The Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani had a three-run triple in the seventh, a two-run homer in the eighth and also made his second start on the mound since returning from a nearly two-year absence because of elbow surgery. He threw a scoreless first inning with two strikeouts.

Nathaniel Lowe homered for the third time in the last two games for the Nationals, who had won two of three following an 11-game losing streak. Washington starter Michael Soroka took a no-hitter into the fifth inning before getting into trouble in the sixth. He allowed three runs and two hits in 5 1/3 innings, striking out a career-high 10 and walking two.

Ben Casparius (6-1) allowed three runs and five hits in five innings of relief for Los Angeles.
