  • Five RBI from Shohei Ohtani powered a 15-2 Dodgers rout, highlighted by an eighth-inning dash home officially scored as a triple and Jo Adell error.
  • The play stayed live because Ohtani's drive hit newly installed protective netting at Angel Stadium and rebounded back onto the field rather than into the stands.
  • Replay upheld the call despite Angels manager Kurt Suzuki's challenge for fan interference, with stadium ground rules stating balls striking the front of the netting remain in play unless lodged.
  • Ohtani added a three-run double in the ninth and is 5-for-12 over his past three games after a May slump, while the Dodgers' fourth straight win moved them a half-game ahead in the NL West.
