TORONTO (AP) --- Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed one run in six-plus innings, Shohei
Ohtani extended his career-best on-base streak to 42 games and the Los Angeles
Dodgers pushed their winning streak to five, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1
on Tuesday night.
Ohtani led off the game with a four-pitch walk. He also hit an RBI single in
the third inning and was walked intentionally in the ninth.
Alex Freeland had three hits, drove in a run and scored twice. Kyle Tucker
struck out three times in his first four at-bats but gave the Dodgers some
insurance with an RBI single off Jeff Hoffman in the ninth.
One day after they were pounded 14-2 in this World Series rematch, the Blue
Jays extended their losing streak to six games. Toronto never lost more than
five straight last season.
Last year's World Series MVP in LA's seven-game victory over Toronto, Yamamoto
(2-1) allowed one run and five hits. He walked one and struck out six.
Yamamoto was pulled after giving up a double and an infield single to begin the
seventh. Alex Vesia walked pinch-hitter Davis Schneider to load the bases, then
retired the next three batters.
Blake Treinen worked the eighth and Edwin Daz finished for his fourth save in
four chances.
Toronto's Kevin Gausman (0-1) allowed three runs and five hits in 5 1/3
innings. The right-hander has received just one run of support in three starts.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider was ejected in the top of the fifth for
arguing with plate umpire Dan Merzel after a balk by Gausman.
Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas was scratched shortly before the first pitch to
attend to a family matter. Hyeseong Kim replaced him.
Up next
Ohtani (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is scheduled to start in Wednesday's series finale. RHP
Dylan Cease (0-0, 2.79) goes for Toronto.
