Summary
- Tommy Edman's three-run homer secured the Dodgers' seventh-inning lead.
- Teoscar Hernández contributed with a crucial RBI single in the game.
- Shohei Ohtani's status remains uncertain, with an IL stint possible.
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a dramatic 6-5 victory against the Washington Nationals on Saturday night, fueled by key contributions from Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernández. Edman's pivotal three-run homer in the seventh inning erased a deficit and gave the Dodgers the lead, with Hernández adding an RBI single earlier in the game.
Shohei Ohtani's absence was notable, as he was not in the lineup, and his status for Sunday's series finale remains uncertain, with a potential move to the injured list being considered. The Nationals showed resilience, with Dylan Crews and Daylen Lile each hitting an RBI double, and Cade Cavalli delivering a strong six-inning performance after a challenging start.
The game saw early scoring from Los Angeles, but Washington fought back, taking a 3-2 lead in the fourth inning. A run-scoring double by Lile extended Washington's lead to 4-2 in the seventh before Edman's decisive home run shifted the momentum. The Dodgers added another run in the eighth, ultimately holding on for the win despite a late push from the Nationals.
