Dodgers Score Season-High 15 Runs, Pound Angels
Shohei Ohtani drove in five runs, and the Dodgers scored nine times over the final two innings after drawing nine walks.
On Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 15-2 in Anaheim, Calif., marking their fourth consecutive win as Shohei Ohtani drove in five runs.
Through five innings, a 1-0 pitcher's duel between Dodgers lefty Justin Wrobleski and Angels ace Jose Soriano kept the game scoreless until Soriano lost command in the sixth inning.
The Dodgers' rally featured four walks and two hit batters, ending Soriano's outing, while Andy Pages preserved the lead earlier with a diving catch on a line drive by Nolan Schanuel.
Mookie Betts homered and Ohtani added a two-run triple and bases-clearing double, drawing "MVP" chants, while the lopsided win rested the Dodgers' pitching staff after Friday's bullpen game.
The Angels have dropped five consecutive games, struggling to support their rotation, while the Dodgers turn next to RHP Roki Sasaki to continue their winning streak.
