Baseball: Yamamoto gets no-decision, Ohtani has 2 hits in Dodgers win

Yoshinobu Yamamoto got a no-decision after a mediocre pitching performance and Shohei Ohtani went 2-for-5 with an RBI as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 6-4 in 10 innings Monday.

Will Smith doubled in two runs in the top of the 10th before Dodgers reliever J.P. Feyereisen got Thairo Estrada to ground into a game-ending double play in the bottom half at Oracle Park.

Yamamoto gave up four runs on five hits in 5-2/3 innings, striking out six and walking two.

Against Japanese baseball's three-time MVP pitcher, San Francisco's Luis Matos' three-run homer turned a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 lead in the second and Heliot Ramos broke a sixth-inning tie with an RBI single.

"I threw many good pitches, but I couldn't keep their offense in check when I needed to," Yamamoto said. "I'm just glad we got the win in the end."

Ohtani, back in the lineup after missing one game because of back tightness, singled to right in the first and legged out an infield RBI single in the fifth.

At Truist Park in Atlanta, Chicago Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga threw five scoreless innings in a 2-0 loss to the Braves, lowering his major league-best ERA to 0.96.

He allowed seven hits -- all singles -- and walked three but escaped unscathed while racking up eight strikeouts.
