Mookie Betts, Trea Turner and Justin Turner all hit home runs in a five-run sixth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a 7-6 victory over the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.

Betts had three hits to give him at least one hit in 17 of his last 20 games after a slow start when he was batting just .171 over his first 10 contests. The Dodgers won their third consecutive game after a season-long four-game losing streak.

Christian Walker and Alek Thomas each hit home runs for the Diamondbacks, who dropped their fourth consecutive game to match a season-long losing streak.

The Diamondbacks took a 3-0 lead in the third inning on a Pavin Smith RBI single and a two-run home run from Walker, his eighth of the year and second of the series.

The Dodgers broke through in the fourth inning against Diamondbacks starter Tyler Gilbert on a solo home run from Will Smith, his third.

Los Angeles had a leadoff single from Hanser Alberto in the sixth and Betts followed with a home run, his eighth, to tie the score 3-3. Trea Turner hit a one-out home run, increasing the lead to 4-3.

Gilbert (0-2) retired Smith on a grounder for the second out of the sixth before Max Muncy walked and Justin Turner hit a home run to center, his third, for a 6-3 advantage.

The Diamondbacks scored twice in the seventh on Thomas’ second career home run and an RBI single from Ketel Marte to pull within a run at 6-5. The Dodgers added a run in the seventh on an RBI single from Freddie Freeman.

Marte had a run-scoring infield single in the ninth for Arizona before Dodgers closer Craig Kimbrel finished off his seventh save.

Dodgers rookie starter Ryan Pepiot gave up three runs on two hits over four innings with three walks and five strikeouts. Justin Bruihl (1-1) picked up the win by allowing just one hit and no walks in 1 1/3 scoreless innings.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was ejected in the ninth for arguing a non-call on a check-swing appeal.

Jose Abreu’s two-run double in the fifth inning helped the Chicago White Sox defeat the host Kansas City Royals 3-0 in the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday afternoon.

The Royals struck out 14 times and left 12 men on base, going 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position. The Royals have scored in only one of 19 innings since changing hitting coaches prior to Monday’s series opener.

Dylan Cease (4-1) earned the win an out short of a quality start. He allowed no runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out nine, stranding runners in every inning.

Liam Hendriks picked up his 11th save in 14 chances.

Jonathan Heasley (0-2) took the loss. He pitched around trouble before finally surrendering three runs in the fifth. He allowed those three runs on just four hits in five innings.

Kansas City designated hitter Salvador Perez left the game in the seventh inning with a left thumb sprain.

Cease worked out of trouble early. Twice in the first three innings he faced a runner on third with one out and both times he struck out Perez and Ryan O’Hearn back-to-back.

The Royals had another chance in the fourth. Hunter Dozier led off with a single. He was still at first with two outs when Kyle Isbel looped a single to left center. Dozier slowed as he approached third and then bolted toward the plate and was out by several steps.

The White Sox got three runs in the fifth after stranding runners in three of the first four innings. They loaded the bases with no outs on a double by Reese McGuire and then a walk and hit batter. A.J. Pollock lined out to left to score McGuire. With two outs, Jose Abreu doubled to the wall in center to score two more.

Nicky Lopez led off the seventh with a double off reliever Joe Kelly, followed by walks by Whit Merrifield and Andrew Benintendi. But Carlos Santana — pinch-hitting for Perez — and Ryan O’Hearn each struck out and Hunter Dozier popped out to second to end the threat.

Major League Baseball announced Tuesday the suspension of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Matt Harvey for 60 games without pay for “participating in the distribution of a prohibited Drug of Abuse” in violation of the league’s drug policy.

The start date of Harvey’s suspension is retroactive to April 29, making him eligible to return in late June.

Harvey was one of four players to testify in federal court in February that former Los Angeles Angels communications director Eric Kay provided drugs that contributed to the death of Tyler Skaggs. Kay was later found guilty on charges of drug distribution and drug conspiracy.

Harvey was granted immunity for his testimony, in which he said he used cocaine in the early years of his career and that he shared Percocet pills — a mix of oxycodone and acetaminophen — with Skaggs during the 2019 season.

Harvey, along with former Angels players C.J. Cron, Mike Morin and Cam Bedrosian, testified that they received opioids from Kay and that they believed he supplied them to Skaggs, who died during the 2019 season while the Angels were on a road trip to play the Texas Rangers.

Skaggs died of asphyxia and oxycodone, fentanyl and alcohol were found in his system.

Harvey testified that he had a pill supplied by Kay in his locker in Anaheim. When he learned of Skaggs’ death, he retrieved it and disposed of it.

A former 2013 All-Star pitcher with the New York Mets, Harvey joined the Orioles in 2021 and went 6-14 with a 6.27 ERA in 28 starts. He re-signed with Baltimore at the start of the 2022 season but has yet to play this year.

Atlanta Braves left-hander Tyler Matzek will be placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to discomfort in his pitching shoulder.

Left-hander Tucker Davidson is being recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Tuesday’s game against the host Milwaukee Brewers.

Matzek departed Milwaukee and will undergo an MRI exam on Wednesday in Atlanta. The 2021 postseason hero said he has been experiencing pain for the past couple weeks.

“It was probably two weeks or three weeks (ago) that my shoulder started feeling uncomfortable,” Matzek told MLB.com. “I think I was just compensating for the lack of mobility in my back. I felt good trying to get through the back (injury). I think it just spiraled into another thing.”

Matzek, 31, has struggled with a 5.06 ERA in 13 relief appearances this season. He has experienced major control issues, walking nine in just 10 2/3 innings.

The production is much different than last season when Matzek had a 2.57 ERA in 69 relief appearances.

He stepped it up further with a stellar postseason in which he went 3-0 with a 1.72 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 15 2/3 innings over 13 appearances to help the Braves win the World Series.

Matzek also excelled during the 2020 postseason by going 1-0 with a 1.04 ERA and 14 strikeouts in just 8 2/3 innings over seven appearances.

Davidson, 26, made one start for Atlanta earlier this season and was rocked for five runs in 2 2/3 innings by the Washington Nationals on April 11.

Overall, he is 0-1 with a 5.55 ERA in five appearances (five starts) with the Braves over the past three seasons.

Davidson is 1-1 with a 4.44 ERA in five starts for Gwinnett this season.

New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom has “continued healing” in his injured right scapula and will “continue to build distance and velocity in his throwing program,” the team announced Tuesday.

deGrom underwent an MRI exam on Monday.

The Mets didn’t announce a timeline for his return to the mound and said they’d provide “an update on his progress when appropriate.”

It was the third MRI since late March for the 33-year-old right-hander, who landed on the injured list on April 7 with a stress reaction on his right shoulder blade.

He was transferred to the 60-day IL on May 10 and won’t be eligible to come off the list until June 6.

The four-time All-Star has not pitched in a game since July 7, 2021. In 15 starts last season, deGrom went 7-2 with a 1.08 ERA, striking out 146 batters in 92 innings.

The winner of the National League Cy Young Award in 2018 and 2019, deGrom is 77-53 with a 2.50 ERA in 198 career starts over eight seasons with the Mets.
