Yamamoto, Dodgers End Skid With Win in Cincinnati

Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a stellar outing for the Los Angeles Dodgers, striking out nine and allowing just one run over seven innings in a 5-2 win against the Cincinnati Reds. Shohei Ohtani broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run double, while Teoscar Hernandez drove in two runs to boost the Dodgers' offense. Yamamoto has posted a 1.71 ERA over his last six starts, signaling a return to top form after a difficult midseason stretch. Reds rookie starter Chase Burns struck out 10 for the third consecutive game but remains winless. The Dodgers snapped both the Reds' four-game winning streak and their own five-game losing streak at Great American Ball Park, recording their first win in Cincinnati since June 2023. This victory launches a critical nine-game road trip for the Dodgers.
