The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Minnesota Twins 2-1 at Target Field as Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman provided key offense and Eric Lauer delivered a long relief outing. After Will Klein pitched the first inning, allowing a home run by Byron Buxton, Lauer replaced him on Monday night. Lauer then throws six innings of no-hit baseball, carrying the Dodgers through the middle and late parts of the game. Offensively, Ohtani sets the tone with a leadoff home run, giving Los Angeles an early lead. Freeman later adds a homer to break a sixth-inning tie, putting the Dodgers in front for good. The Dodgers’ win comes after they had lost back-to-back games for the first time since May 11-12. Minnesota’s offense is limited to one run total, while Los Angeles holds steady behind Lauer’s extended performance out of the bullpen. The result leaves the Dodgers securing a narrow victory with both timely hitting and dominant pitching in relief.
