Andre Ethier had his first three-homer game and drove in a career-high six runs to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 8-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.
Ethier gave the Dodgers a 3-0 lead in the second, driving a 1-1 pitch from Jason Vargas to center field after Casey Blake led off with a double and James Loney singled.
He made it 7-2 in the sixth with a drive into the right-field pavilion off Vargas (3-3). He capped his big night with a leadoff shot in the eighth off Miguel Batista for his 14th homer.
It was Ethier's fifth career multihomer game.
Clayton Kershaw (5-5) allowed two runs and five hits over six innings and struck out eight.
