Dodgers Snap Reds’ Streak With 5-2 Win

The Los Angeles Dodgers snapped the Cincinnati Reds' four-game winning streak with a 5-2 victory, powered by Shohei Ohtani's two-run double that extended his hitting streak to nine games. Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered seven strong innings, allowing only one run and striking out nine, while retiring 14 of the last 15 batters he faced. Reds rookie Chase Burns notched his third consecutive game with 10 strikeouts but continued to seek his first win as defensive errors and missed opportunities hurt Cincinnati. The Reds loaded the bases in the ninth but could not rally, with Jack Dreyer earning his first major league save for the Dodgers. The loss highlighted the Reds' ongoing struggles against elite pitching and timely Dodgers hitting. The series will continue with Reds pitcher Nick Lodolo, coming off a complete-game shutout, set to start the next game.
