Angel Martínez hits a 3-run homer in the eighth inning as Guardians rally for 7-4 win over Dodgers
CLEVELAND (AP) — Angel Martínez hit a three-run, go-ahead homer and the Cleveland Guardians scored five times in the eighth inning to rally for a 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.
The Dodgers built a 4-1 lead before Lou Trivino gave up an RBI single to Carlos Santana in the bottom of the seventh. Nolan Jones tied it in the eighth with a two-run single off Tanner Scott (0-1) and Martínez followed with his 394-foot blast off Alex Vesia.
Matt Festa (1-0) pitched the eighth and Emmanuel Clase worked a perfect ninth for his 11th save. The Guardians salvaged the third and final game of the interleague series.
Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw was denied his 213th win, despite pitching a season-high five innings and allowing one run. The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner struck out three in his third outing since undergoing left knee and toe surgery.
José Ramírez extended his career-long hitting streak to 21 games with an RBI single in the first, also moving into eighth place in Cleveland history with 1,564 hits. Carlos Santana went 3 for 4 with an RBI.
Will Smith, Andy Pages and Freddie Freeman drove in runs and Kiké Hernández scored on a wild pitch for Los Angeles.
Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan left the game after three innings with right wrist inflammation.
Kolby Allard made a spot start for Cleveland, allowing two runs in four innings.
Key moment
The Guardians had five runs and eight hits off Trivino and Scott over 2 1/3 innings after Kershaw left the game after the fifth.
Key stat
Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, who leads the majors with 20 home runs, went 0 for 3 with a walk. He had homered in three straight games.
Up next
Dodgers: RHP Tony Gonsolin (2-1, 4.68 ERA) pitches Friday against the New York Yankees to begin a seven-game homestand.
Guardians: RHP Luis Ortiz (2-5, 4.73 ERA) is tentatively scheduled to start Friday at home against the Los Angeles Angels.

Missed putts lead to U.S. Women's Open heartbreak for Nelly Korda at Erin Hills
TOWN OF ERIN – One shot never makes or breaks a four-round tournament, and Nelly Korda's missed 4-footer for par on the 13th hole did not lose her the 80th playing of the U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills on June 1. But it was her third miss inside six feet over the course of four rounds, a makeable par save needed on the final day of a major championship that she finished tied for second in. It would not have given her a lead, or tied for it, but Korda was chasing 54-hole leader and eventual champion Maja Stark from the beginning – and behind Korda's miss, Stark rolled in a 14-footer for birdie. Nelly Korda reacts after missing a putt for birdie during the final round of the U.S. Women's Open Sunday, June 1, 2025 at Erin Hills in the Town of Erin, Wisconsin. It was a two-shot swing between the two, giving Stark a three-shot lead as Korda began the home stretch of five holes. That grouping included two par 5s, though, and ample chance to put the pressure on Stark. But a 14-footer for eagle on No. 14 never had a chance, and Korda tapped in for birdie to pull to two shots. Birdie putts on No. 15 and 16 never had a chance, either. Advertisement Too often the flat stick led her astray. For the 26-year-old, she called the runner-up finish "an absolute heartbreaker" in a television interview just after signing her scorecard. She elaborated later by adding, 'Obviously, I'll have hopefully a lot more attempts, but when you come so close and you kind of feel that adrenaline coming down 18, the one thing that you want to do is hold the trophy at the end of the day,' she allowed. 'And I'm not. 'But it's okay. I'll have more opportunities hopefully.' Throughout the week, Korda felt she putted well. And at times, she did. But through four rounds, short putts slid by or lipped around. Too few times, she got the 'ice cream swirl' of a make, like she did on her final putt of round three. Advertisement The world's No. 1 player needed 127 putts to get through the tournament, which was just 53rd among all players. She lost 0.42 strokes to the field on the greens, which let her superb ball striking down on too many occasions. 'I wasn't hitting bad putts,' she insisted after her round. 'Not at all. I wasn't pushing them. I wasn't pulling them. They just weren't falling like my; out here, especially with it getting tougher every single day, like matching your speed with your line is very crucial on fast greens. Just kind of as many weren't falling as I hoped for, yeah.' Korda was first in strokes gained on the field off the tee and fifth in strokes gained on her approaches. Her short game was sharp, too, as she finished eighth in strokes gained around the green. To her credit, Korda never let poor misses break her confidence. Her rounds never snowballed in a negative way. But the miscues kept her from truly putting pressure on Stark, who was playing in the group behind. Advertisement And to Stark's credit, she made more putts more often. She birdied the 14th as well, sending Stark to 9-under and three shots clear of Korda with two holes to go for the top-ranked player in the world. Stark then drained her nervy 4-foot par putt on No. 15 to keep the advantage. Even with the par 5, 18th hole ahead of her, it would be too great a divide to cross for Korda. The week was the first time Korda truly contended in a U.S. Women's Open, but she was always chasing the top of the leaderboard. And while her prodigious power off the tee and the precision of her iron play gave her distinct advantages, those margins dissipated on the greens. Advertisement 'I hit it so good off the tee,' she said, starting to smile. 'I wasn't in one bunker this week. I feel like that's pretty impressive out here. I was thinking about that going into the round today. I was like, don't think about it. It's going to happen if you think about it. Yeah, I was just striking it really well. 'When you strike it really well and you give yourself so many opportunities, it does get at the end of the day frustrating it comes down to your putting, right?'
