Dodgers crush Angels in Freeway Series sweep with 10-1 finale
The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a dominant sweep of the Los Angeles Angels in the weekend Freeway Series. The final game ended 10-1, extending the Angels’ losing streak to six matches. Both Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages contributed key hits in the victory.
Roki Sasaki delivered his strongest major league performance yet for the Angels. He pitched seven innings, allowing just one run while striking out eight batters—both career highs. Despite his effort, the Dodgers’ offence overwhelmed the Angels.
Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages each drove in two runs with singles in the fourth inning. Kyle Tucker also stood out, collecting three hits and three RBIs. Grayson Rodriguez, making his Angels debut, struggled by giving up seven runs and seven hits in a short outing. The Dodgers outscored the Angels 31-3 across the three-game series. Their next match sees Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3-3, 3.60 ERA) starting against the San Diego Padres on Monday. Meanwhile, the Angels will send Walbert Ureña (1-4, 3.29 ERA) to the mound against the Oakland Athletics the same day.
The sweep leaves the Angels searching for answers after six consecutive losses. The Dodgers, meanwhile, carry strong momentum into their next series. Both teams now turn their focus to upcoming matchups against division rivals.
