7/29/25	Ohtani strikes out 4 times; Will Smith's RBI double in 9th gives Dodgers 5-4 win over Reds. CINCINNATI -- - Will Smith had an RBI double in the ninth inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. Shohei Ohtani struck out four times in a major league game for the sixth time, but it was the first time it happened in his first four at-bats. The reigning NL MVP also had a nine-game hitting streak snapped. The Dodgers got three hits from Freddie Freeman , including a game-tying RBI single in the seventh inning, and Tommy Edman had a two-run homer in the first inning. Former Cincinnati closer Alexis Díaz (1-0), who was dealt to the Dodgers on May 29, pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings.

The idea was to get a more favorable matchup for backup catcher Dalton Rushing, still get Smith in the lineup for two of the three games in Cincinnati and give Rushing a chance to gain some offensive rhythm. “I haven't talked to Dalton,” Roberts said.
