The game was decided in the first inning. Los Angeles scored three runs in the opening frame and never looked back, defeating Chicago 7-1 behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto's commanding performance on the mound.
Yamamoto dominated over 8.1 innings, allowing just one run on one hit while striking out seven without issuing a walk. The right-hander improved to 7-4 with a 2.52 ERA, carrying the Dodgers through eight shutout innings before allowing a solo homer in the ninth.
The Dodgers struck immediately against Sean Burke. Shohei Ohtani opened the scoring with a solo homer to right field, then Max Muncy followed with a two-run blast that scored Mookie Betts. Muncy added another two-run homer in the eighth inning, finishing 3-for-3 with four RBIs and two home runs. Kyle Tucker contributed with an RBI single in the third and a bases-loaded walk in the sixth.
Burke struggled with command, lasting just four innings while allowing four runs on six hits and five walks. The White Sox managed only one hit through eight innings before Tristan Peters connected for a solo homer in the ninth, preventing the shutout.
Los Angeles snapped a one-game losing streak and improved to 44-26. Chicago's three-game winning streak ended as they fell to 37-31. Mookie Betts sits two doubles away from 400 career doubles, while Kyle Tucker is two runs from 500 career runs scored.
