Dodgers News
The Dodgers celebrated a solid 6-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds last night, bolstered by Will Smith's timely home run, reminding fans just how crucial he is after a stint on the injured list. However, the joy was somewhat tempered as the team continues to tread carefully with Shohei Ohtani, who is out of the lineup again as he deals with lingering injuries. The decision to give Ohtani extra rest is wise, especially as the Dodgers aim for a season-high sixth straight win tonight. Meanwhile, the hope remains that the rival Giants heed Jeff Kent’s rather grumpy advice, which could further bolster LA's chances in the division. With a record of 87-57 and a strong run differential, the Dodgers are well-positioned, but they’ll need all hands on deck for a successful playoff push.
