Ohtani strikes out eight in four innings on the mound and hits a two-run home run – his 1,000th MLB hit – but the Dodgers’ bullpen struggles in a 5-3 loss.

Jordan Walker had a game-tying single in the eighth inning and Masyn Winn scored the go-ahead run on an error as the visiting St. Louis Cardinals rallied for a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday afternoon.

The Dodgers didn’t have the offensive firepower they had on Tuesday night, and combined with sloppy defense late in Wednesday’s game resulted in the Cardinals stealing the rubber match and the series by a final score of 5-3.
