It was only six weeks ago, on July 3, that the Los Angeles Dodgers held a nine-game lead in the National League West, their 12th division title in 13 years seen as a foregone conclusion. They have since won only 12 of 33 games.

Shohei Ohtani yielded four runs on five hits while pitching a season-high 4 1/3 innings, but Logan O'Hoppe delivered a two-run single in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Angels swept the season Freeway Series with a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Starting pitchers to bat leadoff since 1900: Shohei Ohtani 18x 9/22/68 Cesar Tovar (played all 9 positions) 9/27/53 Al Dark (moved to 3B after the 1st, only career game pitched) 9/30/1901 Jim Jones
