It’s Thursday, August 29, and the Baltimore Orioles (77-57) wrap up their series in LA against the Dodgers (79-54) with the series tied at 1 game apiece.
After losing the opener, LA rebounded last night thanks to yet another big night from Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers’ DH belted his 42nd HR of the season and swiped his 41st and 42nd bases of the season to catapult his mates to a 6-4 win over the O’s.
The loss for Baltimore kept them a game behind the Yankees who lost for a 2nd consecutive night in DC to the Nationals. The Dodgers maintained their 3-game lead over the Diamondbacks with the win.
