Dodgers' Ohtani Sparks Wild Comeback, Sweeps Nationals

0:00On April 6th, the Dodgers pulled off a wild comeback, rallying from a five-round deficit to edge the Nationals 8-6 and Snagga 3-game sweep. Shohei Othani crushed a homer, early and delivered the go-ahead sack fly in the 8th to seal it. Tails Gar Hernandez and Dalton rushing at its solo shots for L.A., while Lewis Garcia Jr. and James Wood powered Washington's early lead with big blasts. The Dodgers erupted for four runs in the 8th against reliever Sionel Perez, tying it up before Othani took over. Fans are buzzing about L.A.'s grit without Mookie Betts, who's on the I.L. with an oblique strain their first game sidelined by that. The Nats are reeling, dropping their 5th straight as the Dodgers grabbed four wins in their last five. Pitching wise, Jack Dryer tossed a clean 7th for the W and Edwin Diaz locked down the 9th save. He went 2 for 4, finishing the series 6 for 15 with two homers and 6 RBI's. He's got 17 RBI's and 17 games vs. Washington's joining L.A.
