The White Sox have dropped six of their past
seven, with four of those losses coming at home.
Ohtani went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs, and he opened
the game with a solo shot to right-center. Right fielder Tommy
Pham nearly robbed the homer, but the ball glanced off his glove
and landed in the bullpen.
Ohtani became the first Dodgers player since 1955 to drive in a
run in nine straight games.
Chicago answered quickly. In the home half of the first, Andrew
Benintendi followed Pham's leadoff walk with a two-run shot to
right field, and Eloy Jimenez contributed an RBI double two
batters later to make it 3-1.
Dodgers starter Bobby Miller labored through the first inning,
throwing 38 pitches, including 11 to record an eventual
strikeout of Paul DeJong.
Miller, who grew up in McHenry, Ill., lasted just two innings.
He gave up three runs and four hits to go along with three walks
and one strikeout.
Freeman ensured Miller wouldn't get tagged with the loss when he
got to White Sox starter Chris Flexen for a two-run homer to
left in the third inning, tying things at 3-all.
Ohtani hit a go-ahead RBI single in the fourth to give Los
Angeles a 4-3 lead.
Flexen fell to 2-7 and remains in search of his first victory
since May 8. He scattered four runs and six hits in 5 2/3
innings, walking three and fanning three.
Michael Petersen started the Dodgers' relief relay, allowing one
hit and two walks in two scoreless innings. He picked up the win
to improve to 2-0. Evan Phillips pitched a perfect ninth for his
13th save of the year.
Gavin Sheets had two hits for Chicago, which stranded 10 runners
on base and went 0-for-9 with men in scoring position.
