Yamamoto anchored the Dodgers with seven strong innings, allowing only one run while striking out ten. His command kept the Reds from building any momentum as Los Angeles’ lead continued to grow.
Alex Freeland’s double brought Kyle Tucker home in the fourth, and Enrique Hernandez’s double brought Hunter Feduccia and Freeland across. Teoscar Hernández’s single then brought home Will Smith and Mookie Betts, turning the inning into the game’s defining offensive surge. Later, Max Muncy and Enrique Hernandez homered to extend the lead, before Kyle Tucker added another home run.
Rhett Lowder was unable to contain the Dodgers, and Cincinnati’s offense managed only Elly De La Cruz’s fourth-inning home run. Sal Stewart reached base twice, but the Reds could not sustain a rally.
Los Angeles extended its winning streak, while Cincinnati’s losing streak continued. The one-inning burst made the difference long before the final outs.
