Dodgers Defeat Angels 7-2 in Freeway Series as Ohtani Continues Home Run Streak

Tyler Glasnow delivered a stellar performance, striking out 10 in seven innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 7-2, splitting the two-game Freeway Series. Shohei Ohtani continued his remarkable hitting streak, smashing a 459-foot home run, his second in as many nights against his former team. Gavin Lux also contributed with a solo homer, and the Dodgers' bottom-half lineup, which had struggled early in the season, produced significant runs. Zach Plesac struggled for the Angels, allowing six runs in just over three innings. The Dodgers' bullpen, led by Michael Peterson, secured the win with strong relief pitching. Ohtani's recent surge has positioned him as a top contender for the MLB home run leader, significantly boosting the Dodgers' offense amidst injuries.
