Ohtani gets 2 big hits, Yamamoto and bullpen combine on 1-hitter in Dodgers'
2-1 win over Giants

LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani hit two doubles off the wall and scored a
run, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto combined with five relievers on a one-hitter with
10 walks in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants
on Thursday night.
Freddie Freeman singled home Ohtani in a two-run sixth for the Dodgers, who
have won eight of 11 despite another adventurous evening for their beleaguered
bullpen.
Yamamoto allowed only Patrick Bailey's second-inning single and struck out
seven, but he also walked six while laboring into the sixth inning. Michael
Kopech and Blake Treinen then combined to walk four Giants while allowing a run
in the seventh.
However, Anthony Banda threw a perfect eighth and Alex Vesia calmly finished
for his fifth save.
Logan Webb (14-11) matched Yamamoto's one-hit performance until the sixth, when
the Dodgers put together three more hits and two runs.
The win boosted the Dodgers' lead over San Diego (83-70) atop the NL West to
three games, while a fifth loss in six games dropped the Giants (76-77) three
games behind the New York Mets (79-74) for the final NL wild-card spot, with
Arizona and Cincinnati also ahead of San Francisco.
After Jack Dreyer (3-2) finished the sixth for Yamamoto, the Dodgers finally
got to Webb when Ohtani drilled a one-out double to right, sending Ben Rortvedt
to third. Mookie Betts grounded to short, but Bailey couldn't hold on to Willy
Adames' throw to the plate.
Freeman then drove in Ohtani, but Adames ended the rally with a spectacular
play on Teoscar Hernndez's grounder.
Key moment The struggling Treinen walked Rafael Devers with the bases loaded, but struck out Adames and Matt Chapman to escape the jam.
Key stat 23 --- Total walks already issued by the Dodgers in the first four games of their homestand.
Up next Clayton Kershaw (10-2, 3.53 ERA), who announced his impending retirement Thursday, makes the final regular-season home start of his remarkable career against San Francisco's Robbie Ray (11-7, 3.50). ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB
