MILWAUKEE (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit his National League-leading 37th home run and the Los Angeles Dodgers finished with four homers in a 7-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night that extended their winning streak to five games. Gavin Lux and Andy Pages each hit a two-run home run during a five-run fourth inning that gave the Dodgers a 7-1 lead. Will Smith also homered as the NL West-leading Dodgers improved to 71-49 and matched the Cleveland Guardians for the best record in the majors. “We’re just playing good baseball,” Smith said. “Offense is putting together good at-bats, good team at-bats, driving guys in, moving guys over. Pitchers are filling up the zone, attacking guys, getting ahead. Right now, we’re playing good baseball.”

Fantasy Baseball SP Roundup: Quick Maths

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will push back Tyler Glasnow‘s next start to Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Glasnow was originally in line to start Friday’s series opener, but the Dodgers will give him an extra day of rest after he started seven innings in his last start.
