Freddie Freeman hits 2 homers, Shohei Ohtani steals 3 bases as Dodgers take 3 of 4 from D-backs with an 11-6 win
Freddie Freeman hit two homers and had five RBIs, Shohei Ohtani stole three bases and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-6 on Monday.
Teoscar Hernández went 5 for 5 to help Los Angeles take three of four games in a crucial series between NL West rivals. The Dodgers — who have won 17 of their last 23 — now have a six-game lead over the D-backs with 24 to play.
Arizona and San Diego are jostling for second place.
“Four-game series on the road, especially against a division rival, to come out with a series win, it’s big,” Freeman said.
Ohtani had two hits and two walks while showing off his speed. He stole second and third base on back-to-back pitches in the seventh inning, bringing his total for the season to a career-high 46. Freeman drove in Ohtani with a sacrifice fly, pushing the Dodgers’ lead to 4-1.
