Automatic runner Chris Taylor advanced on Cody Bellinger’s infield single in the 10th. Betts then hit a one-out line drive against Marlins reliever Andrew Nardi (0-1) that bounced off the warning track in left.
Trea Turner followed with an RBI single, Freeman hit a run-scoring double and Max Muncy capped the five-run outburst with a two-RBI double.
The Dodgers overcame three errors.
"It was resilient, we didn’t play good defense tonight," said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. "We gave them extra outs but ultimately we won a ball game."
Marlins rookie Peyton Burdick homered off David Price (2-0) to lead off the ninth and tie it at 5-all.
Betts’ second blast, a game-tying solo shot off Miami against reliever Tanner Scott in the ninth, made it 4-4. It was the third multi-homer game of the season for Betts and 23rd in his career.
"It was pretty cool I guess," Betts said of his milestone. "A long time to play so we’ll see what else I can do."
