Catcher Dustin Garneau, who caught several of Freeland's starts last year at Triple-A Albuquerque, helped his pitcher with a fifth-inning leadoff homer off Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu.
Ryu struck out five but gave up six hits and left after throwing 77 pitches in 4 u2154 innings. The Dodgers, whose chance at a big first inning ended when Yasmani Grandal grounded out with the bases loaded and two down, scored their run in the fourth; Scott Van Slyke led off with a double and scored on a groundout.
