The Dodgers won their first game in the second half of the season on Monday night.
They can only hope it wasn’t accompanied by yet another potentially significant loss.
Though the Dodgers powered their way past the Minnesota Twins 5-2 at Dodger Stadium — hitting four home runs on a night Shohei Ohtani pitched three solid innings (while accounting for one of the long balls himself) and Dustin May followed with 4 u2154 scoreless innings out of the bullpen — the team was left fretting over a sour final note.
With one out in the ninth inning, closer Tanner Scott left the game with a forearm injury, grimacing after spiking a slider in the dirt and flexing his left throwing arm as a trainer accompanied him to the dugout.
