Ohtani homers, delivers go-ahead sacrifice fly as Dodgers complete sweep of
Nationals, 8-6

WASHINGTON (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani homered and hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly, and
the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied from a five-run deficit to defeat the
Washington Nationals 8-6 and complete a three-game sweep Sunday.
Teoscar Hernndez and Dalton Rushing also homered for Los Angeles, which has
won four of its last five.
Luis Garca Jr. and James Wood went deep for Washington, which has lost its
last five.
The Dodgers scored four runs in the eighth off Cionel Perez (0-1), who loaded
the bases before Santiago Espinal laced a two-run single to left-center. Perez
was pulled without retiring a batter after he walked Will Smith, and Clayton
Beeter surrendered Kyle Tucker's RBI fielder's choice to tie it at 6-6.
Ohtani then lifted a fly to left that brought in Espinal to make it 7-6. Ohtani
went 2 for 4 and finished the series 6 for 15 with two homers and six RBIs. He
has 17 RBIs in 17 games against the Nationals since joining the Dodgers.
Jack Dreyer (1-0) pitched a scoreless seventh for Los Angeles. Edwin Diaz
worked the ninth for his third save.
Ohtani opened the scoring with a line shot to center in the third inning
against Nationals starter Foster Griffin. It was the Dodgers' only run against
Griffin, who struck out six in five innings.
Garca hit a two-run blast in the third against Roki Sasaki, while Wood broke
out of a 1-for-16 slump with a three-run shot in the fourth to make it 6-1.
Sasaki allowed six runs in five innings. He struck out five.
The Dodgers played for the first time this season without shortstop Mookie
Betts, who was placed on the injured list with a right oblique strain.
The game began after a rain delay of two-plus hours.
