A testament to Ohtani's stuff that he had seemingly zero command and he got through 6 with only an unearned run allowed.

Yeah.

Teoscar gives the Dodgers the lead with a sac fly.

Rojas keeps doing this, he might need to not retire, tbh.

Dodgers @ Blue Jays April 8, 2026: Ohtani goes for series sweep in Toronto

Dodgers 4, Blue Jays 1: Yamamoto & Vesia keep the Jays down as Dodgers win 5th straight

After Will's infield single gets the Dodgers their first hit and an error advanced him to second, Freddie singles up the middle to tie things up.

Ohtani will his Roki-esque command day. Hope he can get through five.

Basically have to get to Cease whenever he starts shitting himself and before he decides to strikeout everybody, so wasting that first sucks.

Today in How Does Anybody Get A Hit, Actually:

First error of the season is from Alex Freeland, coming on what seems like a bad hop. Happens.

Dodgers @ Blue Jays April 8, 2026: Ohtani goes for series sweep in Toronto

Dodgers Prospect Notes: Tibbs III dominates AAA, Davalan homers twice in an inning, plus Tillero, Zazueta, Tunink, more

I take no pleasure in doing this...

Yamamoto dominated early, Vesia helped him and looked like he was going to detonate, and Kim and Freeland scored all the runs for the Dodgers, just as you'd expect. That's five in a row.

Will Smith, hero.

Good to see 98 MPH is there for Diaz if he needs it.

Benny Hill Music Plays

And credit to Treinen for looking ... good?

lol

Vesia gets out of bases loaded and nobody out, makes Yoshi happy.

Valenzuela ends up sorta popping Ohtani in the funny bone on a backpick attempt. Both are staying in the game.

Freeland singles home a walk and a balk from Kim to make it 3-0.

Schneider gotta try something, I get it.

Yamamoto's curve gets a smile out of Sanchez.

Everybody loves watching Kim's D.

Things you don't see in AAA.

Rushing's backup manages to avoid a double play for another run. Gotta take what you can get from reserve catchers.

Bumtani hits it too low and singles off the wall for the game's first run, scoring Kim's double after Gausman tried to take Freeland out.

LMAO

Tucker just tried to make Yamamoto feel like it was 2025 on that play.

Yamamoto starts by striking out the side in the 1st on just 11 pitches.

Can't argue about the Dodgers, found Flat Earthers coping and am too busy entertaining myself.

Dodgers Digest is Brim-less for like 11 out of 12 months nowadays.

Dodgers absolutely taking the piss.

Look, at least if the Dodgers don't score for Yamamoto this time, it's Gausman. I know the tweets will be made anyway, but just saying.

Saw stuff about Hyeseong Kim not playing, but they made it clear Alex Freeland was ahead in the pecking order, and Miguel Rojas was always going to get playing time in Toronto. One week isn't going to change the situation. Come on, now.

Dodgers 14, Blue Jays 2: Bats pummel 5 homers & 17 hits in a blowout for their 4th straight win

Rushing was 4-4 with 2 HR and a HBP, Teoscar homered and drove in 4, Freddie homered and drove in 3, Kim was 2-4 with a BB, and Ohtani homering was almost an afterthought. Rojas closed the game out. Hell of a way to start the series.

Rojas going for the strikeout, lmao.

Dave, bring in Rojas for the 9th.

Rushing annihilates his second homer of the day for a four-hit game.
