Dodgers Snap Five-Game Losing Streak with Ohtani Two-Homer Game

Shohei Ohtani led the Los Angeles Dodgers to a crucial 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, breaking a five-game losing streak and helping the team maintain their NL West lead. Ohtani hit two home runs, including a leadoff shot that tied a Dodgers franchise record, and reached base five times, sparking the offense early. Mookie Betts contributed with a home run and RBIs, while Clayton Kershaw delivered a strong pitching performance, striking out eight over nearly six innings. The win marked a significant turnaround following a tough road trip that included a near no-hitter loss and multiple late-inning collapses. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of maintaining confidence and playing freely despite the recent struggles. The Dodgers now return home with renewed momentum as they continue to contend in the National League West.
