Dodgers End Losing Streak with Strong Pitching From Shohei Ohtani, Emmet Sheehan
SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 12 – Shohei Ohtani and Emmet Sheehan combined for a strong pitching performance, helping the Dodgers end their longest losing streak since 2017 with a 2-1 win over the Giants.
- The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Francisco Giants 2-1 on Saturday, July 12, 2025, ending a seven-game losing streak at Oracle Park.
- The Dodgers struggled earlier this season with their longest losing streak since September 2017, and they needed strong pitching to break the slide.
- Shohei Ohtani started and pitched three scoreless innings, striking out four batters, while Emmet Sheehan followed and held the Giants to one run over 4.1 innings.
- Michael Conforto scored both runs with three hits, including an RBI single by Hyeseong Kim, as manager Dave Roberts praised Ohtani's performance as a key factor in the win.
- The victory stopped the Dodgers' season-long losing streak, providing momentum as Ohtani continues to build his pitching workload following his second Tommy John surgery.
