ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani had five RBIs, Mookie Betts homered and
the Los Angeles Dodgers pummeled the Los Angeles Angels 15-2 on Saturday night
for their fourth straight win.
Justin Wrobleski (6-1) allowed two runs in six innings, taking pressure off the
Dodgers' pitching staff after an unscheduled bullpen game Friday following
Blake Snell's late scratch.
Snell will undergo surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow on
Tuesday, manager Dave Roberts announced before the game. The Dodgers expect the
two-time Cy Young Award winner to return this season.
Jos Soriano (6-3) allowed six runs in 5 1/3 innings and Jo Adell hit a two-run
double for the Angels, who have dropped five straight.
The Dodgers broke the game open with five runs in the sixth inning. Andy Pages
and Max Muncy drew bases-loaded walks to end Soriano's outing and Teoscar
Hernndez was hit by Chase Silseth's pitch to score another before Alex Call
cracked a two-run single through the infield to left for the only hit of the
rally and a 6-0 lead.
Pages made a diving catch on a line drive to center field by Nolan Schanuel to
end the fourth inning and prevent the Angels from tying the game at 1. Jorge
Soler would have scored from third had Pages not reached out with his left
glove hand to made the grab, earning a round of applause and tip of the cap
from Wrobleski.
Ohtani scored on his two-run triple in the eighth following Adell's throwing
error, and he followed it up with a three-run double in the ninth, drawing
"MVP" chants from the throng of Dodgers fans in attendance.
Up next
Dodgers RHP Roki Sasaki (1-3, 5.88 ERA) will try to get on track after
struggling in a 9-3 loss to San Francisco on Monday. Grayson Rodriguez will
make his Angels debut, which marks the right-hander's first MLB appearance
since July 31, 2024.
