LOS ANGELES -- Corey Seager keeps surpassing manager Dave Roberts expectations. His latest multihomer game helped the Los Angeles Dodgers keep pace in the NL West.Seager homered twice, Chase Utley and Yasmani Grandal also went deep and the Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-4 on Monday night.When you think that he cant do anymore, he continues to exceed that, Roberts said. But still, even last week when he wasnt getting hits, he didnt waver as far as preparation and mindset. Every time he comes up to bat, something special can happen.The Dodgers remain one game back of San Francisco in the division after the Giants beat the Miami Marlins 8-7 in 14 innings.Seager has 21 homers, breaking Hanley Ramirezs record for homers by a Dodgers shortstop. Hes also the eighth L.A. rookie with 20 or more homers in a season.Seager hit a solo shot, Adrian Gonzalez smacked an RBI single, Joc Pederson drilled a two-run double and newcomer Rob Segedin had a sacrifice fly as the Dodgers built a 5-0 lead after one inning off Zach Eflin (3-5).Ive never really had this much success hitting home runs, so its new for me, Seager said. Im still learning how to answer it.Yeah, its one of those things, you dont ever want to get too high, too low, kind of stay even-keeled. Its kind of how I have tried to look at it.Julio Urias (2-2) started for the first time in nearly three weeks.

Eflin has been roughed up in his last three starts, allowing 22 hits and 19 runs in 13 innings.Ive faced Seager a lot in the minors and hes a good hitter, Eflin said. On Seagers home run, it was supposed to be a two-seamer low and away but it came back over the plate and he nailed it.On Utleys homerun, I thought I threw a good pitch but it ended up in his hot zone.Utley played against Philadelphia for the first time since his 13-year stint there ended in a trade to L.A. in Aug. 2015. He hit a 3-2 pitch over right-field wall in the second for his eighth homer, upping the lead to 6-0.It was cool, but youre still going out there trying to compete and win, Utley said. Obviously, I know a lot of faces in that dugout, but the main goal is to win the game, and we did.Philadelphia scored three times in the third to break a 22-inning scoreless streak at Dodger Stadium. Urias throwing error to home plate with the bases loaded led to two runs. Cameron Rupp added an RBI single and Philadelphia cut the lead to 6-3.Grandal drove his 17th homer 439 feet into the Phillies bullpen for a 7-3 lead in the third.

Brazilian police say American swimmers were not robbed at gunpoint at a gas station as they claimed, but a law enforcement official did say a security guard used a gun to control the situation involving Ryan Lochte, Jimmy Feigen,?Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz.Brazilian police had previously said no gun was involved. The change in the version of events came after police interviewed one of the security guards on Thursday. It further deepened the mystery of what happened inside the station and set off an international dispute.No robbery was committed against these athletes. They were not victims of the crimes they claimed, Civil Police chief Fernando Veloso said during an afternoon news conference Thursday.Veloso said the swimmers vandalized the bathroom on the side of the gas station, damaging mirrors and other property. No charges have been filed, Veloso said, but the swimmers could be charged with false communication of a crime and vandalism if the investigation concludes that they did something wrong. If they cooperate, Veloso said he sees no reason for them to stay in Brazil.He said surveillance video shows that employees of the gas station tried to control the situation but that the swimmers went to their taxi and tried to get away.?When employees realized what was going on, security guards asked the taxi driver not to leave and to wait for police.Veloso did not say a gun was pointed at the swimmers to prevent them from leaving, but an official told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity that a gun was used in that way. The surveillance video does show a man approaching the taxi with an object in his hand, but its not clear whether it is a gun.Veloso said the gun involved was a legal weapon used by the security guard.Veloso said the athletes refused to wait for police to arrive. During that time, a third person offered to interpret and explained to the athletes that they had to pay for what they had done to the bathroom. According to Veloso, they offered to pay in the form of a $20 bill and 100 reals (about $51).Veloso said in the news conference that one of the athletes had confirmed this version, saying there was no robbery.He added that the video confirms the swimmers were not victims of physical or verbal abuse.Lochte first recounted a robbery to his mother, Ileana Lochte, who spoke with reporters, the police official told the AP. That led to news coverage of the incident and prompted police attention.Conger and Bentz arrived at DEAT, the tourist police department, around 12:30 p.ddddddddddddm. ET Thursday for questioning.?Feigan has not been interviewed by the police yet, Veloso said.Conger, Bentz and Feigen remain in Brazil, as authorities have ordered the seizure of their passports. A Brazilian judge also ordered Lochtes passport be seized, but he said he has already returned to the U.S.Brazilian authorities said in a statement Thursday that Conger and Bentz were taken off the airplane.?A police source told ESPN Brasil that the swimmers were interviewed for just more than three hours at the airport, with a Brazilian lawyer and representatives from the USOC and the U.S. consulate present.Stephen Conger, the father of Jack Conger, told ESPN on Thursday that his son slept in a hotel Wednesday night and was guarded by U.S. government personnel. Jack was never under arrest, according to his father. Its more a political ordeal than a criminal one, he said.Stephen Conger said the plan is for Jack to be on a plane home Thursday night. He said hes shared text messages with his son but said: Were as in the dark as anyone about what happened. I dont know if there was a robbery or not.NBC spoke with Lochte on Wednesday night and reported that he said he had left Rio and already returned home, as originally scheduled.Lochte backtracked on his initial comments to the network made Sunday, saying the barrel of the gun he had said was placed to his forehead was instead pointed in his direction. He also said the taxi wasnt pulled over but that the swimmers were robbed after making a stop at a gas station.He said when he was interviewed by police about the incident that no one had suggested he needed to stay in Brazil, nor had any officials expressed doubts over his account of the robbery, NBC reported.International Olympic Committee spokesman Mario Andrada said during a news conference Thursday that neither Lochte nor his teammates need to apologize for the incident.We have to understand that these kids came here to have fun. Lets give these kids a break, Andrada said. Sometimes you make decisions you later regret. They had fun. They made a mistake. Life goes on.Andradas comments were made before the reports that a robbery did not happen.Information from ESPNs?Shaun Assael?and?ESPN Brasils Gabriela Moreira was used in this report. ' ' '
