The Dodgers displayed resilience despite a severe deficit, ultimately losing their seventh consecutive game. Early struggles arose as starting pitcher May struggled with command and allowed back-to-back walks, contributing to the opposing team's early scoring. The game deteriorated in the fifth inning, with May's performance leading to multiple runs and his departure. Ohtani and the opposing team capitalized on this, including a significant two-run homer from Ohtani, establishing a dominant lead.
The Dodgers showed fight instead of packing it in when they got behind big, but they have now lost seven straight games after falling into a six-run deficit.
Things looked incredibly bleak halfway through the game, especially when May combined a lack of command with extra-base hits, leading to crucial runs for the opponent.
The real turning point was the fifth inning when May allowed multiple runs, leading to his exit from the game with a final stat line of 4.2 IP, 7 R.
Ohtani's two-run shot in the third, his 32nd home run of the year, marked a significant highlight as he helped secure a commanding lead for the opponent.
