The Dodgers, which scored one more run in the fourth inning, added five more runs in the fifth inning. With no runners on base with one out, Ohtani had a hit to the right-center field. He had hits in five consecutive games. Afterwards, he stole base at bat at Betts’ plate and went all the way to the third base due to wild pitching by opposing pitcher.
Betts was caught on a ground ball toward third base, but Freeman hit a timely double and went all the way to third base on a wild pitch. Hernandez hit an RBI single with an infield hit, and Lux’s heavy hit and Smith walked to load the bases.
Muncy hit a timely double at the chance, and the Dodgers went 8-1. Ohtani had no more hits due to a fly ball to the left field in the sixth inning and a ground ball to the first base in the eighth inning.
The Dodgers were chased by giving up one point in the sixth inning and one point in the eighth inning, and gave up one more point in the ninth inning, but kept the victory by four points without additional runs.
