Overview

  • Los Angeles opened the series with an 8-5 win on Friday and followed with an 18-2 rout on Saturday to seize a 2-0 lead over New York.
  • Shohei Ohtani slugged two home runs in the opener and threw 29 pitches across two innings in his second live batting practice session.
  • Max Muncy powered the blowout with two homers and a career-high seven RBIs in the 18-2 victory, while Hyeseong Kim and Dalton Rushing added solo shots.
  • Key Dodgers pitchers remain sidelined as Evan Phillips prepares for Tommy John surgery, Tyler Glasnow is on the 60-day IL and Mookie Betts is day-to-day with a fractured toe.
  • Manager Dave Roberts expects Ohtani to make his first major-league start after the All-Star break, leaning on a hot offense to offset a thin rotation.
