Wrobleski struck out a career-high 11 in seven innings on Tuesday, the most by a Dodgers pitcher this season. This was the left-hander’s sixth start of at least seven innings this season, tied with Yoshinobu Yamamoto for most on the team. Wrobleski allowed three runs, two of them in the seventh inning, but the Dodgers offense provided plenty of support made those late runs not matter much.

Tommy Edman and Miguel Rojas each homered off A’s left-hander Jeffrey Springs, who leads the majors with 24 home runs allowed. The Dodgers put up crooked numbers in three different frames, with a pair in the first inning, then three runs each in the third and seventh.

Edman had four hits and drove in four runs while getting the start at third base, continuing his hot start. Since returning from the injured list on June 16, Edman has reached base at least twice in seven of his nine starts, and overall is hitting .395/452/.579.
