Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers host the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.
The Los Angeles Dodgers (11-8) look to get back on track on Tuesday after losing back-to-back games, including the first game of this series against the Washington Nationals (7-9). After starting the season 6-1 Los Angeles has gone just 5-7 overall, playing inconsistent baseball. They will look to stars Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman to get the team back on track. In the first game of the series those three combined to go 3-for-12 from the plate with four strikeouts. That allowed Washington to come away with the 6-4 win to kick-off this series.

The Washington offense used the long ball to get the offense going with CJ Abrams’ fourth home run of the season and a three-run shot from Luis Garcia Jr. for his first home run of the season in the fifth inning.
Los Angeles scored three of the four runs on two ground outs and one on a sacrifice fly, twice with Will Smith at the plate and once with Chris Taylor. That is not the offense that Los Angeles envisioned when it built this team around Ohtani, Betts and Freeman during the offseason, but it will take the victory.
Washington left-handed veteran Patrick Corbin (0-2) is in search of his first win of the season. Washington has won two of the last three games, as it is starting to play some of its best baseball of the season.
