Overview

  • San Francisco beat Los Angeles 6-2 at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, handing the Dodgers a fourth straight loss despite Shohei Ohtani’s third-inning homer.
  • Backup catcher Eric Haase hit two solo homers from the nine spot, including the go-ahead shot in the fifth, and he nearly added a third on a ball caught at the wall.
  • Harrison Bader’s two-out drive preceded Haase’s second blast, giving the Giants back-to-back homers from the bottom of the order that flipped the score.
  • Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed three home runs for the first time in his MLB career and left after 6 1/3 innings with five earned runs and eight strikeouts.
  • Manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani will pitch Wednesday without hitting and is expected to sit Thursday, underscoring workload concerns as the Dodgers’ offense continues to sputter.
