Shohei Ohtani had a solo home run and an RBI double among his three hits, and the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the rival San Francisco Giants 10-2 on Tuesday night.
Ohtani’s 12th home run highlighted a four-run drive capped by Gavin Lux’s RBI triple. Teoscar Hernández doubled on a home run and Max Muncy hit a sacrifice fly in the inning to back up Gavin Stone (4-1). Hernández later hit a two-run triple.
Will Smith hit an RBI single in the 5th inning as the Dodgers won their 6th straight series until last year. Los Angeles has won 14 of 17 at Oracle Park and 10 of 12 overall against the Giants since being swept at home from June 16-18, 2023.
Heliot Ramos had an RBI single in the sixth inning for the Giants, but the Dodgers responded in the seventh when Mookie Betts tripled and scored on Ohtani’s double.
Miguel Rojas added an RBI double in the ninth for the Dodgers.
Stone allowed one run and five hits in six innings, earning his second consecutive start and fourth consecutive decision win.
