Dodgers score season-high 15 runs, pound Angels
May 16, 2026; Anaheim, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani (17) slides to third base on a single by shortstop Mookie Betts (not pictured) ahead of a tag from Los Angeles Angels third baseman Vaughn Grissom (5) during the first inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images Shohei Ohtani drove in five runs with a late triple and double, Justin Wrobleski combined with three relievers on an eight-hitter and the Los Angeles Dodgers took advantage of Jose Soriano's wildness to wallop the Los Angeles Angels 15-2 on Saturday night in the second game of their rivalry series in Anaheim, Calif.
The Dodgers did all but one run of their season-high scoring in three innings, with Ohtani doing all his damage in a four-run eighth and five-run ninth.
While the game was still competitive, Alex Call had the only hit of a five-run sixth, a two-run single, helping the Dodgers pull away 24 hours after they had opened the three-game set with a 6-0 victory.
Ohtani walked and scored on Will Smith's sacrifice fly in the first inning for the game's only scoring until the decisive sixth.
After getting Ohtani on a grounder to second to lead off the sixth, Soriano (6-3) walked Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman before hitting Smith to load the bases.
Two more walks -- to Andy Pages and Max Muncy -- produced runs and also ended Soriano's night, one in which he allowed just one hit in 5 1/3 innings.
Reliever Chase Silseth plunked Teoscar Hernandez to force in the inning's third run, and Call followed with his two-RBI single to make it 6-0.
Jo Adell's two-run double in the bottom of the inning got the Angels on the scoreboard, but that's all they got against Wrobleski (6-1) in his six innings. Coming off his worst outing and only loss of the season, 7-2 last Sunday against the Atlanta Braves, the left-hander limited the Angels to two runs and seven hits, walking one and striking out five.
Soriano was charged with six runs in his 5 1/3 innings. He walked six and struck out six.
The Dodgers blew the game open in the eighth when Ohtani tripled into the right-field corner, scoring two runs, and raced home when right fielder Adell's throw eluded his cutoff man for an error. Betts then followed with a home run, his fourth, to make it 10-2.
In an inning that ended with infielder Adam Frazier on the mound, the Dodgers reached the 15-run mark in the ninth, capped by Ohtani's three-run double.
Muncy scored three times for the Dodgers, who have won four in a row, while Ohtani, Betts, Smith and Pages scored twice apiece.
Ohtani, Betts and the Angels' Jorge Soler, who had two doubles, were the only players in the game with multiple hits, all with two.
