The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to get back into the win column and even their series against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday.

The Dodgers dropped Friday's series opener, 8-2, behind a seven-run fifth inning by the White Sox that put the game away.

The Dodgers offense mustered just two runs in the second inning on a Santiago Espinal single, and were shut down the rest of the way.

Shohei Ohtani didn't play on Friday as he's dealing with left knee inflammation. Manager Dave Roberts was hopeful that he'd be back in the lineup on Saturday.

“He just got treated [today],” Roberts said after Friday's game. “So talking to the training staff just right now, I’m optimistic. But I want to get him through tonight, get him here, go through some semblance of a workout, getting his body ready, and then we’ll go from there.”

Ohtani is back.
