After taking the first two games of the series, the Dodgers went for a sweep against the only team to be swept into the Reds. They had Shohei Ohtani On the hill an exhausted line -up, but they were once some luck attacking to get Shohei some support. In the meantime, Shohei showed the entire Arsenaal to continue five this season to secure his first victory as a dodger and to complete a sweep from the Reds with a 5-1 win.
========
As mentioned, Shohei Ohtani was on the bump for the Dodgers, and his very first throw was cut for a single in the 1st. However, he returned with a few strikeouts to help him prevent problems. The 2nd was more of a work, because he walked back-to-back batters with one and ungent two wild fields, but three batters hit him to help him escape the jam.

Against him Nick LodoloWho looked like a threat to throw a Perfecto early, pull the side back to just 33 throws and with five strikeouts the first time.
That changed to the 4th, especially because of the happiness for the Dodgers. After Shohei Ohtani had distracted the inning with a single, it was back-to-back bloop singles to the right of one Teoscar Hernandez And Andy -Pages To load the bases like this. Happiness went on then Enrique Hernandez Gaster a ball in the middle for a single to place a few and make it 2-1.

The rally ended there, and at the same time it was more than they deserved and exactly the kind of happiness they missed lately.
Although they did nothing against Lodolo, he did not go through the 5th when the Reds pen came in and finished that frame, then they also got a scoreless 6th.
The Dodgers had a great chance to add insurance in the 7th, while the Reds were full of one, but a few flyouts ended the threat without crossing.
Cell.

Charged with achieving Ohtani’s first victory as a dodger, Jack Dreyer Was first from the pen in the 6th, smashed a few and only gave out a two-out walk.
Things were not that easy for Justin Wobleski In the 7th, while he went strikeout, single, strikeout, single and four-pitch walk to load them and put the go-ahead run on the plate. However, it took one throw for him to get out of that jam on a groundout.
Exhale.
He also started the 8th for matchup reasons, but previously gave a lead-off single over Edgardo Henriquez entered. He … well, looked great. He turned out three batters to get out of the inning and only allowed a walk because the referee started a call on a perfectly placed throw.
