Shohei Ohtani homers, but Angels get last laugh vs. Dodgers

LOS ANGELES -- Taylor Ward singled in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning, lifting the Los Angeles Angels over the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Friday night in Shohei Ohtani's first game against his old team.

Ohtani hit a two-run homer with two outs in the fifth that put the Dodgers ahead. He was 2-for-2 with two walks but got caught stealing to end the eighth. The Dodgers managed just three other hits.

Jo Adell started the 10th at second base and was sacrificed to third by Nolan Schanuel. Dodgers closer Evan Phillips (0-1) came in and retired Luis Rengifo on a groundout before Ward singled to left.

The Dodgers couldn't produce in the bottom of the inning. Cavan Biggio started at second and took third on Jason Heyward's groundout, but Carlos Estevez struck out Enrique Hernández and Gavin Lux to end the game and earn his 14th save.

Luis García (2-0) got the win with two innings of relief.

Ohtani's 455-foot shot -- his NL-leading 22nd homer of the season -- into right-center off reliever Matt Moore scored Austin Barnes and snapped a scoreless tie. It was Ohtani's seventh homer in his past 11 games. It also marked his fifth homer of at least 450 feet this season, breaking a tie with New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge for the most in MLB, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Dodgers relievers hit four batters in two innings. Ryan Yarbrough became the club's first pitcher to plunk three in one inning since Carl Doyle on June 8, 1940.

The Angels tied the game in the sixth, when Yarbrough hit Rengifo leading off. Ward singled before Logan O'Hoppe got hit to load the bases. Yarbrough then plunked Zach Neto to force in a run. Mickey Moniak followed with a groundout to second that scored Ward and tied the game, 2-2.
