Overview

  • Los Angeles beat Baltimore 5-2 on Sunday behind two Shohei Ohtani home runs and 5 2/3 solid innings from Clayton Kershaw, ending a five-game losing streak.
  • A day earlier, Yoshinobu Yamamoto carried a no-hitter to two outs in the ninth before Jackson Holliday homered, leaving him with 10 strikeouts over 8 2/3 innings on 112 pitches.
  • After Yamamoto exited Saturday, Blake Treinen allowed a double, hit a batter and issued two walks, and Tanner Scott yielded Emmanuel Rivera’s two-run walk-off single to cap a four-run ninth.
  • The drama unfolded on a night honoring the 30th anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr.’s Ironman milestone at Camden Yards, amplifying a sellout crowd’s reaction.
  • The Dodgers remain atop the NL West with a narrowing cushion, and their late-inning reliability faces renewed scrutiny despite Sunday’s stabilizing win.
