The Los Angeles Dodgers scored six runs to defeat the Cincinnati Reds 6-3, potentially completing a series sweep when Shohei Ohtani faces Nick Lodolo. Freddie Freeman opened scoring with an RBI double that tied the game after a Reds first-inning run. The Dodgers took the lead in the fourth when Teoscar Hernández doubled and Kiké Hernández delivered a sacrifice fly. Will Smith hit a solo homer in the sixth, and subsequent hits by Alex Call, Kiké Hernández, Miguel Rojas and Ohtani produced three more runs. Clayton Kershaw allowed an early run but retired 14 straight batters and finished five innings of one-run ball.
The Los Angeles Dodgers offense has struggled to find consistent production for the last two months, but things finally seem to be trending up for them as they defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 6-3. The Dodgers now have a chance to sweep the Reds on Wednesday when Shohei Ohtani faces Nick Lodolo. Tonight was the Dodgers' third straight game of scoring six or more runs after putting up seven last night and eight in their series finale against the San Diego Padres on Sunday.
Clayton Kershaw allowed a double to Spencer Steer and single to Elly De La Cruz in the first inning of his outing, which led to the Reds scoring first on a ground out by Miguel Andujar. But after that single, the left-hander settled in and retired 14 straight hitters before his outing came to an end. Kershaw finished his start throwing five innings of one-run ball on two hits allowed while striking out six and walking no one.
