LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers’ All-Stars are steaming toward Seattle on hot streaks.
“It’s great and it’s contagious,” Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts said. “It’s hard not to say it started with Mookie. But Mookie, Freddie, Will, JD – when those guys are swinging the bats the way they are, we put up a lot of runs. Everyone followed suit tonight. A lot of action on the bases.” “It’s been rough,” Angels Manager Phil Nevin said. “I said it the other day, we’ve got to play better. It’s little things in a lot of different areas that need to get better. Making no excuses.”
Angels starter Griffin Canning gave up Freeman’s 16th homer of the season on a hanging curveball in the first inning. He allowed solo homers to Martinez and Betts in each of the next two innings. Canning had been on a roll with a 2.25 ERA over six starts, but he’s now allowed nine runs in 8⅔ innings in his last two starts.
Gonsolin retired all nine hitters he faced in the first three innings, in the third he gave up singles to Ohtani and Taylor Ward. He then left a curveball to Mickey Moniak up in the zone, and Moniak drilled it for a three-run homer, pulling the Angels within 4-3.Gonsolin also surrendered a Mike Moustakas homer in the seventh, but that was all he gave up in 6⅔ innings that showed improvement from his recent work.
