Newswire From a news agency Context piece
  • Tommy Edman hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the seventh inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the Washington Nationals 6-5.
  • Teoscar Hernández drove in a run in the first inning while filling in as designated hitter for Shohei Ohtani, who could miss Sunday's series finale and possibly go on the injured list.
  • Washington lost its third consecutive game despite strong pitching from Cade Cavalli, who allowed two runs and struck out eight over six innings.

With Shohei Ohtani absent, Tommy Edman stepped into the Japanese star's usual leadoff spot and delivered the decisive blow for Los Angeles. His three-run homer in the seventh inning put the Dodgers ahead in a 6-5 comeback victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday.

Teoscar Hernández also filled Ohtani's designated-hitter role and made an immediate contribution. His two-out single in the first inning brought home the Dodgers' opening run, and Hunter Feduccia followed with another RBI single to give Los Angeles a two-run lead.

The Dodgers attacked Cade Cavalli early, but the Nationals pitcher settled down after the difficult start. He allowed two runs and four hits, struck out eight and retired 15 of the final 16 batters he faced over six solid innings.

Washington answered with RBI doubles from Dylan Crews and Daylen Lile. Venezuelan catcher Keibert Ruiz also singled home a run against his former team, but the Nationals could not avoid their third straight defeat. Ohtani remains uncertain for Sunday's series finale and could be placed on the injured list.
