Shohei Ohtani hits solo home run, RBI double as Dodgers pound Giants 10-2

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani had a solo home run and an RBI double
among his three hits, and the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers pounded the
rival San Francisco Giants 10-2 on Tuesday night.
Ohtani's 12th homer highlighted a four-run fourth that was capped by Gavin
Lux's RBI triple. Teoscar Hernndez doubled home a run and Max Muncy hit a
sacrifice fly in the inning, backing Gavin Stone (4-1). Hernndez later
contributed a two-run triple.
Will Smith hit an RBI single in the fifth in the Dodgers' sixth straight
victory in the series dating to 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 hit an RBI single in the sixth for the Giants, but the Dodgers
added on 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 over six innings to win his second
consecutive start and fourth straight decision.
Giants starter Keaton Winn (3-6) allowed five runs and five hits in four-plus
innings. The right-hander gave way to Randy Rodriguez with two aboard and no
outs in the fifth.
Athletic trainer Dave Groeschner and manager Bob Melvin came out to the mound
to check on the rookie right-hander, who lost his third straight start.
TRAINER'S ROOM

at Sacramento and got through it healthy, according to manager Dave Roberts.
Heyward was hoping to get to the ballpark and check in with the club. ... RHP
Bobby Miller will throw two simulated innings in Arizona on Wednesday. He was
placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with shoulder inflammation.
Giants: An MRI exam of OF Jung Hoo Lee's dislocated left shoulder showed he has
structural damage after crashing into the wall Sunday. He met with team doctors
Monday night and now will seek a second opinion with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on
Thursday in Los Angeles. ... LHP Blake Snell (strained left inner thigh) will
pitch Friday for Triple-A Sacramento and then rejoin the Giants. ... Jorge
Soler (strained right shoulder) hit live pitching and if he is fine afterward
will then join Sacramento for a rehab game. ... C Patrick Bailey was placed
back on the seven-day concussion list retroactive to Sunday. He came off the
concussion list Saturday but was scratched the past two days with symptoms of a
cold.
UP NEXT
The Dodgers will have a bullpen game as the Giants start RHP Logan Webb (3-4,
3.38 ERA) in the series finale as San Francisco concludes a 16-day stretch
without a day off.
