Andy Pages’ three-run homer lifts the Dodgers to a 5-4 victory over the Giants, but San Francisco had already made headlines with a blockbuster trade for the Red Sox slugger prior to the series

Andy Pages hit a game-turning three-run home run in the fifth inning, Shohei Ohtani had three hits and scored two runs, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Sunday night.

That’s because minutes before their 4:10 p.m. PST game against the Los Angeles Dodgers — a game they would lose 5-4 — news broke that the Giants were acquiring three-time All-Star Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for left-hander Kyle Harrison, right-hander Jordan Hicks, outfielder James Tibbs III and right-hander Jose Bello.

Shohei Ohtani is making his Los Angeles Dodgers pitching debut, 21 months after the two-way superstar had elbow surgery.

The day Los Angeles Dodgers fans have been waiting for is finally coming, as superstar Shohei Ohtani is set to return to the mound for his first pitching appearance for LA since inking a massive 10-year, $700 million contract with the franchise in December of 2023.

Shohei Ohtani has hit two homers against the San Francisco Giants, emphatically ending the three-time MVP’s longest homer drought since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers
