Dodgers Extend Five-Game Road Win Streak, Move Into MLB Wins Lead

News summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers extended their winning streak to five games by narrowly defeating the Kansas City Royals 5-4, further highlighting the Royals' struggles with an 11-game home losing streak in June. Shohei Ohtani was instrumental for the Dodgers, hitting a leadoff home run and a tying RBI triple, while Max Muncy contributed a two-run homer. Despite a shaky performance from Dodgers starter Dustin May and some defensive errors, the bullpen, led by Tanner Scott, managed to hold off the Royals' late rally. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed that the team has yet to play their best baseball despite their strong record and multiple All-Star candidates. Meanwhile, the Royals continue to face challenges, including the absence of pitcher Will Klein, who recently moved back to the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate after being traded multiple times. The upcoming series between the Dodgers and Royals is critical for Kansas City as they trail significantly in their division and playoff hopes.
