Ohtani scores go-ahead run in 7th, Dodgers rally to beat Royals 6-5 in Tarik Skubal’s home debut
Tarik Skubal's home debut for the Dodgers saw him give up three runs over five innings, but it was a rally by Los Angeles that secured a 6-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals. The go-ahead run was scored by Shohei Ohtani in the seventh inning, showcasing the team's resilience after a poor start. Skubal allowed four hits and struck out six in his second start with the Dodgers.
Max Muncy's three-run double in the sixth inning put the Dodgers ahead, but Kyle Isbel responded with a two-run homer for the Royals. Ohtani then contributed with a single and stole a base before scoring on Freddie Freeman's hit, ensuring the win. The Dodgers have only managed two wins in their last 10 games, but this victory marked their second in a row.
Closer Edwin Diaz secured the win with a perfect ninth inning, while Blake Snell made his second start of the season for the Dodgers.
