Overview
- The series opened with a 2-1 Dodgers victory driven by solo home runs from Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman and limited offense from the Twins.
- Eric Lauer worked six hitless, scoreless relief innings in the opener and Tanner Scott closed with a clean ninth to secure the win for Los Angeles.
- Projected starters for Game 2 are Justin Wrobleski for the Dodgers and ace Joe Ryan for the Twins, a pairing that shapes betting markets and expectations.
- The game will be carried on national television by TBS and can be streamed through paid short-term options such as DirecTV’s trial offers, SlingTV day passes, and HBO Max/Bleacher Report bundles.
- Streaming choices let viewers without cable buy short access (24-hour and multi-day passes) or short trials, which affects how fans can watch live without a full subscription.
