Shohei Ohtani had two hits and reached base three times to help the Dodgers improve to 8-3 with their fifth victory in six games. There was a standing-room-only crowd to see the Cubs play Ohtani and the Dodgers on a cool, sunny, late afternoon game.Cody Bellinger had two of Chicago's seven hits against his former team as the Cubs had their five-game winning streak snapped. Yamamoto pitched out of a no-outs, bases-loaded jam in the first inning.
'It was a really good outing, obviously that first inning got a little stressful,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. 'His pitch count got up, but for him to reach back and strike out the last three guys in that inning to get out of it was huge.'Relievers Ryan Brasier, Joe Kelly, and Daniel Hudson backed up Yamamoto with three scoreless innings. Evan Phillips allowed a single to Dansby Swanson and a double to Michael Busch. Swanson scored on Miles Mastrobuoni ground out.
