"The Los Angeles Dodgers enter Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles on a four-game losing streak. Things are getting interesting in the NL West as the Dodgers have lost four straight, the San Diego Padres have lost five in a row and the San Francisco Giants have won five consecutive games. The defending champions will look to bounce back in the second game of the series against Baltimore with ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound. In the right-hander's last start he tossed seven strong innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks, allowing one earned run on four hits with a career-high 10 strikeouts."
"The Dodgers will need Yamamoto to replicate that type of production Saturday against the Orioles. Opposite Yamamoto is Orioles left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers, who is sporting a 1.39 ERA with 81 strikeouts across 90.1 innings pitched this season. With Will Smith and Dalton Rushing both dealing with injuries, the Dodgers have Ben Rortvedt in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles."
"Dodgers Starting Lineup Shohei Ohtani, DH Mookie Betts, SS Teoscar Hernandez, RF Freddie Freeman, 1B Alex Call, LF Andy Pages, CF Miguel Rojas, 2B Kiké Hernandez, 3B Ben Rortvedt, C"
