The Los Angeles Dodgers pounded out 17 hits to beat South Korea's Kiwoom Heroes 14-3 in an exhibition game Sunday, ahead of the season-opening two-game series against the San Diego Padres.
Jason Heyward drove in four runs, Freddie Freeman hit a solo home run among his three hits and Shohei Ohtani struck out swinging in both of his at-bats at Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome.
Ohtani, batting second as the designated hitter, was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the fourth inning.
Freeman sparked Los Angeles' offense with a solo blast to right in the first. The Dodgers built a 4-0 lead through the first three innings off Kiwoom right-hander Ariel Jurado and put the game away with a four-run fifth.
Dodgers starter Michael Grove and six relievers combined to strike out 15 batters.
The Dodgers and Padres will play the first two games of Major League Baseball's regular season on Wednesday and Thursday.
