Melvin was already without long reliever Spencer Bivens, who threw a season-high 3 1/3 innings in Saturday’s 11-5 loss. Right-hander Tristan Beck, another multi-inning reliever, contributed two innings before backup catcher Logan Porter pitched the eighth.

Andy Pages hit a game-turning three-run home run in the fifth inning, Shohei Ohtani had three hits and scored two runs, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Sunday night. The Dodgers trailed 3-2 when Ohtani and Mookie Betts singled to open the fifth.

The San Francisco Giants just created a massive headache for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants traded for Rafael Devers in a deal no one saw coming on Sunday to not only grab some much needed offense, but instill fear in a team that’s been running away with the NL West division.

Shohei Ohtani will be the starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night against the San Diego Padres, 21 months after the two-way star had elbow surgery.

Harrison has surrendered eight earned runs on 13 hits and three walks across 9 1/3 innings over his past two starts, while May has been sharp at home for the Dodgers. The Los Angeles starter has a tidy 2.97 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across his six home starts, and May has recorded 5+ strikeouts in five of the six with 10.0 K/9 and a 27.2 strikeout rate.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have released the lineup for the series finale against the San Francisco Giants, with some surprises.
