Shohei Ohtani’s 49th homer highlights Dodgers’ rout of Giants

Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is congratulated by Mookie Betts after Ohtani hit his 49th home run of the season on Saturday in San Francisco.

Shohei Ohtani launched his 49th home run of the season, Teoscar Hernandez and Ben Rortvedt contributed two-RBI doubles in a six-run fifth inning and a classic pitching matchup of Clayton Kershaw against Logan Webb turned into a slugfest as the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the San Francisco Giants 13-7 on Saturday night.

Kershaw was bombed for four runs in three innings and Webb for six runs in four-plus frames in a game that saw the Dodgers (83-65) retain their 2½-game lead over the San Diego Padres atop the National League West, while the Giants (75-73) missed out on an opportunity to move past the New York Mets in the NL wild-card race.

After the Giants countered a Dodgers tally in the top of the inning with four runs in the last of the first, a majority of the night’s fireworks were shot off by the visitors, who totaled 17 hits.

⚾ OFFSEASON SHAKE-UP IN ATLANTA: The Braves have officially declined club options on relievers Tyler Kinley and Pierce Johnson, marking the start of what could be a major bullpen overhaul this winter. The moves free up nearly $12 million in payroll space, giving Atlanta flexibility to chase new arms or reallocate funds toward rotation depth. For fans, it’s a bittersweet decision — two veterans who helped steady the pen at times now hit free agency, as the Braves look to reshape their pitching identity for 2026.
