After Gavin Lux hit a two-out double, center fielder Victor Scott II made a lunging catch of Teoscar Hernadez's fly ball while crashing into the wall. The Dodgers threatened again in the second. Miguel Rojas (3-for-4, RBI) hit a leadoff single and Austin Barnes drew a two-out walk, but Gray struck out Nick Ahmed. Gray dodged trouble again in the third. Mookie Betts hit a one-out single and went to third on Lux's double. Hernandez walked to load the bases, but Rojas grounded into a double play. Ohtani's homer broke the scoreless tie in the fifth.

Kershaw cruised through the first five innings on just 57 pitches while allowing just two hits. Pedro Pages and Scott hit singles to begin the sixth for the Cardinals. But Masyn Winn flew out and Wilson Contreras grounded into a double play to end the threat. Nootbaar's pinch-hit homer in the eighth off Daniel Hudson cut the Dodgers' lead to 2-1. --Field Level Media.

A fifth-round selection for a third-round selection. Not bad. St. Louis offer sheeted by Broberg and forward Dylan Holloway, whose $2.29 million offer rose to the third-round pick compensation...
