In spring training action yesterday, the Dodgers dominated the Giants 5-1 at Camelback Ranch, with Shohei Ohtani shining in his first start of 2026, tossing 4.1 scoreless innings and fanning four. Freddie Freeman crushed a home run, Nick Senzel added a two-run shot, and the back-to-back champs improved to 18-8 in Cactus League play. Over in the Grapefruit League, the Angels topped the Reds 7-4 behind Josh Lowe's monster day—five RBI on a homer and triple—while Mike Trout doubled in twice and scored. Mariners beat Brewers 7-3, Rangers routed Royals 12-3 with Cal Quantrill back from World Baseball Classic duty, Pirates edged Tigers 3-1, Cardinals shut down Astros 4-1, Braves slipped past Phillies 3-2, and Orioles nipped Blue Jays 3-2. In a wild one, Diamondbacks hammered Cubs 16-8, and Rockies outlasted Reds in another matchup 8-6.

Key moments included Kenedy Corona swiping third and scoring the go-ahead run for the Yankees in their tie with Red Sox, thanks to a throwing error. Mookie Betts and Teoscar Hernandez paced Dodgers right fielders in live scoring metrics.

No major trades or signings broke, but prospect buzz builds around Red Sox infielder Trimble for his plus bat skills and power potential, per Baseball America. Injury notes are light, though Giants' Matt Chapman missed time last year with hand issues. Playoff races simmer early in camp, with Dodgers and Angels heating up.

Off-field, Broki Sasaki locks into Dodgers' rotation to open the season. Look ahead to Dodgers hosting Padres Friday night at Camelback.
