A three-run home run by Shohei Ohtani in the ninth inning wasn’t enough for the Dodgers on Friday night, as they fell 6-5 to the Oakland A’s, marking their fifth loss in six games on their current road trip.
Attention now turns to their major trade deadline acquisition, Jack Flaherty, who is set to start today against the A’s in Oakland. In other news from Friday, veteran outfielder Kevin Kiermaier, recently acquired from the Blue Jays, announced that he will retire at the end of this season. Known for his defensive skills, Kiermaier aims to make the most of his remaining time in MLB.
