Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Los Angeles Angels, 9-2, on Saturday night and improved to 42-23 on the year.

The Dodgers dominated the Angels right off the bat, scoring nine runs in the first inning as they ran away with the game early.

Shohei Ohtani recorded two hits in the first inning, including a two-run home run, while Andy Pages also hit a two-run home run in the inning.

That was more than enough for Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who allowed one run over eight innings in another dominant performance.

Before the game, the Dodgers announced a few roster moves, including a trade.

The Dodgers sent left-handed pitcher Antoine Kelly to the Chicago Cubs. Moreover, the team added right-handed pitcher Nick Frasso to the 40-man roster while moving Tyler Glasnow to the 60-day injured list.

Dave Roberts said Glasnow hasn't been throwing as he remains a ways away from returning.

In other news, the Dodgers released two players from the organization this week.

Catcher Seby Zavala and right-handed pitcher Marco Corcho were released from the organization. Savala joined the team on a minor league deal this offseason and was released from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Corcho has spent the last four years with the team and was released from the Arizona Complex League Dodgers.

Finally, Will Smith was scratched from Saturday's lineup with a stiff neck.

Roberts said the Dodgers catcher is expected to be back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale.

“He was going to play two out of three [in the series against the Angels] regardless, so it’s nice that we could kind of tap Dalton [Rushing] on the shoulder and get him in there,” Roberts said. “I expect [Smith] to be in there tomorrow. We’ll see. But that’s our expectation.”
