Yamamoto tosses 2-hit ball over 6 innings and Edman hits 3-run homer as Dodgers beat Cubs 3-0
Yoshinobu Yamamoto scattered two hits over six innings, Tommy Edman snapped a scoreless tie with a three-run homer in the sixth and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-0 on Friday night. The World Series champions improved to 7-0 at home and have beaten the NL Central-leading Cubs for the third time, having swept the teams' season-opening series in Tokyo. Yamamoto and Matthew Boyd dueled through five scoreless innings. Yamamoto retired 16 of his first 18 batters — eight on strikeouts. The Dodgers' only hits off Boyd through five were a pair of singles by Miguel Rojas and Michael Conforto. Teoscar Hernández singled with one out in the sixth. Boyd then hit Freddie Freeman before Edman, last year's NL Championship Series MVP, sent a pitch halfway up the left-field pavilion for a 3-0 lead. It was the first homer given up by Boyd in three starts. Edman's sixth homer ties him for the major-league lead with Aaron Judge, Kyle Schwarber and Mike Trout, among others. Yamamoto (2-1) struck out nine and walked one. Tanner Scott pitched the ninth for his fourth save. Boyd (1-1) gave up three runs and four hits in six innings. The left-hander struck out seven and walked three. Kyle Tucker doubled down the first-base line for the Cubs' first hit in the fourth. Seiya Suzuki followed with a single to right but was out trying to stretch at first while Tucker went to third. Edman, shifted closer to second, chased down a ball hit to his left by Amaya, spun around and fired blindly to first to narrowly get the second out of the sixth in a scoreless game. Key stat Shohei Ohtani went hitless in four at-bats with two strikeouts, snapping his consecutive games on-base streak at 29 dating to Sept. 14, 2024. Cubs RHP Ben Brown (1-1, 7.71 ERA) opposes touted Dodgers rookie RHP Roki Sasaki (0-0, 4.15), who has yet to get past the fourth inning in his first three starts.

World Series champion Dodgers visit the White House
WASHINGTON — Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers visited the White House after winning the World Series last season. Ohtani was praised for becoming baseball's first 50 home run-50 stolen base player, Betts for his play, and Japanese pitcher Yoshi Yamamoto and NL Championship Series MVP Tommy Edman were singled out. Betts, the star outfielder at the time for the 2018 champion Boston Red Sox, did not make that team's trip to the White House the next year. Betts was on the Dodgers when they won the World Series in 2020 and attended the celebration the following year. The 32-year-old Betts is the lone Black player on the Dodgers who returned from last season's World Series team. 'Nobody else in this clubhouse has to go through a decision like this except me,' Betts said of his decision. 'That's what makes it tough. But it is what it is. I'm not trying to make this political by any means at all. All it is is just me being with my team to celebrate something. It's a privilege to get an invitation like this. I just want to be there with them.' Manager Dave Roberts had called the invitation a huge honor that each World Series champion gets to experience. Roberts said deciding to go to the White House was not a formal conversation he and players had. The trip came after a Department of Defense webpage describing Brooklyn Dodgers great and civil rights icon Jackie Robinson's military service was restored after it had come down. That development came after pages honoring a Black Medal of Honor winner and Japanese American service members were taken down — which the Pentagon said was a mistake — amid the department's effort to remove content singling out the contributions by women and minority groups. Neither Robinson nor any other previous Dodgers greats were mentioned at the ceremony. Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Mark Walter and pitcher Clayton Kershaw gave brief remarks at the White House. The White House also said recently the NFL's Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles accepted their invitation for April 28.
