Ohtani & Friends and the Los Angeles Dodgers' Bullpen Shine After Yamamoto's Struggles

Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers' recent 7-5 victory showcased Shohei Ohtani's power with a crucial 3-run homer, while the bottom of the lineup, including Gavin Lux, Tommy Edman, and Miguel Rojas, played a pivotal role by consistently getting on base.

The episode dives into the Dodgers' bullpen success, with Ryan Brasier, Alex Vesia, Evan Phillips, and Blake Treinen delivering six scoreless innings after Yoshinobu Yamamoto's shaky start. Despite Yamamoto's struggles, possibly due to tipping pitches, the Dodgers' defense shone with key plays from Rojas and Lux. Freddie Freeman's determination was evident as he played through injury concerns and even stole a base, highlighting his commitment to the team.

Tune in to explore the Dodgers' evolving strategy and the impact of these performances on their season trajectory.
