Shohei Ohtani responded to boos from the Toronto crowd by hitting his seventh home run, Max Muncy and Will Smith also went deep and the Los Angeles Dodgers extended their winning streak to five games with a 12-2 rout of the Blue Jays on Friday night. Smith had four hits and three RBIs as the Dodgers won in their first trip to Canada since 2016. Muncy's fifth homer of the season was a three-run shot off Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt (2-4) that highlighted the Dodgers' six-run third...

By BYRON KERR Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit a 450-foot homer to the second deck in right field in his first visit to Nationals Park, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Washington 4-1 on Tuesday night. Ohtani’s sixth homer of the season was the hardest-hit of his career at 118.7 mph. It
There are no must-win games in April, but there are games in which you need to stop the bleeding. The Dodgers found themselves in such a situation on Sunday, the supposed super team with the $308-million payroll having lost six of eight and in danger of getting swept in a three-game home series by the New York Mets for the first time since 1989. Lucky for them, they had a human tourniquet in the form of Tyler Glasnow, the 6-foot-8, 225-pound right-hander who blanked the Mets on seven hits,...
Tyler Glasnow strikes out 10 over eight innings and Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages hit home runs as the Dodgers defeat the Mets 10-0 for a much-needed win.
The boos rained down before Shohei Ohtani’s name even was announced. They only got louder as he trotted around the bases. Back in December, Blue Jays fans thought they were about to win Ohtani’s free-agent sweepstakes — teased by online reports that the two-way star was flying to Toronto and likely to sign with the Canadian club. Instead, the social media rumors ultimately were debunked. The internet sleuths tracking his supposed private jet turned out to be wrong. And a day after his infamous...

Ohtani hit a two-run homer Sunday for his 176th major league home run to pass Hideki Matsui.
One veteran outfielder and one rookie outfielder did the heavy lifting for the Dodgers offense on Monday night, cashing in several scoring opportunities that were very much needed on a wild night in a 8-4 win over the Diamondbacks in the series opener at Chase Field in Phoenix. Teoscar Hernández scored the first run of the game after a single in the second inning, then hit a two-run double in the fifth with the bases loaded, a situation that has mostly confounded the Dodgers this season....
Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani holds the Major League Baseball record for the most home runs hit by a Japanese-born player. He does not, however, hold that record on his own team. That one still belongs to manager Dave Roberts — at least for the time being. During the third inning of the Dodgers' 10-0 win over the New York Mets on Sunday, Ohtani blasted a shot off pitcher Adrian Houser over the right-field fence for a two-run home run. It was the 176th home run of Ohtani's MLB career and represented...
On a day with exasperating pitching, extreme wildness, and an almost comical aversion to cashing in run-scoring opportunities, the Dodgers dropped their third game in a row, 6-4 to the Mets in what might be the most frustrating loss in a growing string of them. On offense the Dodgers could capitalize, on the mound they couldn’t get clean innings, and any time they seemed to get themselves back into the game, the Mets would respond. That’s how it’s gone lately for the Dodgers, who have lost seven...
