Shohei Ohtani pitched seven scoreless innings, Santiago Espinal and Mookie Betts hit back-to-back home ⁠runs and the Los Angeles Dodgers ended a four-game losing streak with a 4-0 victory over the visiting San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.

Teoscar Hernandez and Alex Call also drove in runs in a new-look lineup as the Dodgers won for ​just the second time in six games against the rival ‌Giants this season.

Ohtani (3-2) ‌allowed four hits with two walks and eight ​strikeouts as he lowered his ERA to 0.82 in seven starts. The two-way star was not used as a hitter for the fourth time ⁠on a day that he pitched.
