Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman help Dodgers nip Diamondbacks

At Chase Field in Phoenix, the Dodgers defeated the Diamondbacks 6-5 as Freddie Freeman opened with a two-run homer and Shohei Ohtani followed with a two-run triple the next inning. Los Angeles built a 6-2 lead before a late seventh-inning rally, with relievers Blake Treinen and Edgardo Henriquez closing things out after Eric Lauer gave up four-plus innings and two runs. A 103.6 mph fastball by Henriquez underscored the Dodgers' bullpen readiness. The win improves the Dodgers to 39-22 and extends their NL West lead to six-and-a-half games over Arizona. Freeman and Ohtani have heated up in recent weeks, with Ohtani at .415 with a 1.229 OPS over his last 18 games.
