Los Angeles Dodgers Snap 7-Game Losing Streak With Win Over the San Francisco Giants
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a much-needed win this afternoon on the road against the San Francisco Giants. Los Angeles prevailed 2-1 to snap its seven-game losing streak. Shohei Ohtani took the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He tossed three scoreless innings. LA’s bullpen was great as well. They surrendered one earned run over six innings of work.
Dodgers Third Baseman Tommy Edman drove in the first run of the game on a groundout. Second Baseman Hyeseong Kim added an RBI single. San Francisco scored a run on a SAC fly by Rafael Devers in the bottom of the 8th, but could not muster any more offense. Will the Los Angeles Dodgers make it two wins in a row heading into the All-Star break?
