The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Baltimore Orioles, 6-5, on Friday night and improved to 49-27 on the year in walk-off fashion. The scoring started early via a Max Muncy single in the bottom of the first inning to bring in two runs, and an Andy Pages double brought home another in the second. Baltimore slammed a pair of home runs to tie things up in the sixth and put another two on the board in the seventh. With one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, superstar Mookie Betts hammered a solo home run to bring the game within one. Then, after a two-out Dalton Rushing single to bring home one run, a throwing error allowed the winning run to cross home plate. A major piece of the Dodgers was out of Friday's lineup in Shohei Ohtani for an unexpected reason. After missing a game and eventually returning last week due to knee inflammation, the team announced that Ohtani went on paternity leave and will be back "at some point this weekend." In other news, a major trade prediction has been made to bring an All-Star pitcher from the Detroit Tigers to the Dodgers (and it isn't Tarik Skubal). Two team insiders revealed why they believe the Dodgers will look to bolster their bullpen with a right-hander from the American League bottom feeders. Finally, Roki Sasaki earned some high praise from Dodgers vice president of pitching Rob Hill in an interview with Rob "Pitching Ninja" Friedman. Hill compared the young right-hander to an eight-time All-Star reliever with a pair of World Series rings to his name. “I think there’s certain elements they both carry together," Hill said. "They have such extreme limbs — like, their levers are so absurd — I think it takes a lot of momentum and movement to get them together, then figure out a way to distribute them down the mound. I wouldn’t say it’s a direct comp, but there’s definitely elements [of similarity]."Here’s all the latest Dodgers news and stories (click the headline for the full article): Dodgers Lose Shohei Ohtani for Unexpected Reason Dodgers' Roki Sasaki Earns Wild Comparison to All-Star Flamethrower Dodgers Predicted to Land All-Star Reliever in Blockbuster Trade Deadline Move Dodgers Announce Starting Pitchers for Series vs Stumbling Orioles Dodgers' Kyle Tucker Addresses Pressure of Playing for $240 Million Contract Dodgers Pitcher Credits Dalton Rushing for Getting Him Out of 'Mess' Dodgers Lineup vs Orioles: Shohei Ohtani Out in Concerning DevelopmentDodgers Tweets of the DayShohei Ohtani announced the birth of his second child:"We are again overjoyed to experience this wonderful day in our lives together.
