The Los Angeles Dodgers have risen back to the lead in the district.

The Dodgers won the first game of a three-game home series against the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium on the 26th (Korea time) thanks to starter Emmett Sheehan's good pitching and Andy Pazs' two home runs.

The Dodgers, which have won two consecutive games, have risen to first place in the NL West with 75 wins and 57 losses. The San Diego Padres (74-58), who were tied for the lead with the Dodgers until the previous day, fell to second place with a 6-9 loss to the Seattle Mariners. The game between the two teams is one game.




As of today, the FanGraphs suggested a 75.0% chance of winning the West Division at the Dodgers and 25.0% at the San Diego Padres, respectively.

Sheehan struck out 10 in seven innings, tying the Cincinnati lineup with two hits and one walk. The time limit, which has won three consecutive games recently, is 5-2 with a 3.56 ERA. Seven innings is his most pitching innings, and 10 strikeouts are his most tie-breaking in a game.

The Dodgers took the lead with a solo home run by Andy Paz in the bottom of the third inning when they were 0-0. Pazs pulled Cincinnati starter Hunter Green's slider in the middle and over the right fence.

Then, in the second at-bat in the fifth inning, he exploded a two-run shot to the left with no outs and second base, widening the gap to 3-0. Again, he hit a slider in the middle of Hunter's first pitch and easily crossed the left fence. The 22nd and 23rd arches of the season are drawn in consecutive at-bats.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Freddie Freeman and Will Smith homered and ran 5-0 while shortstop Ellie Delacruz made an error that hit a grounder hit by Diggs with two outs.

Pazs went 2-for-3 with four RBIs and two runs scored, including two homers.




Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-3 with one hit and one walk, failing to hit a home run on the day and staying at 45. Mookie Betts hit a wedge solo home run in the seventh inning.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers' players who were on the injured list (IL) began to return one after another. Utility Quique Hernandez returned on this day. Kieke was out of power on July 7 with a left elbow injury. He missed the day, but is scheduled to start against Cincinnati on the 27th and 28th.

Manager Dave Roberts said, `Our team is getting healthier. I feel grateful to the players who are playing here. I'm happy to see the players rejoining the team."

Players who will return over the end of this month and early next month include third baseman Max Muncy, home and home utilities Tommy Edman and Kim Hye-sung, bullpen pitchers Michael Kopech, Brusdar Graterol and Brock Stewart. Muncy is expected to join in time for the expedition, which begins on September 3.

Kim Hye-sung, who is playing a rehabilitation game in Triple-A, is expected to return during the three consecutive home games against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 30th.

Given that Kieke played five games from the 21st to the 25th in Triple-A, Kim Hye-sung, who started his rehabilitation game from the 22nd, is also close to returning.

Meanwhile, K-pop band BTS member V threw the first pitch at the game. V drew the attention of fans of South Korea, the U.S. and Japan by meeting Ohtani, greeting him happily and taking photos.
