The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the market for another starting pitcher, and Miami Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara is a perfect fit.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani had another first in his MLB career. Ohtani struck out in his first four plate appearances Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds, the first time he has done that in his eight seasons and 981 games in the majors.

It was not a night that will change the team’s course before Thursday’s trade deadline. The Dodgers are still seeking at least one right-handed reliever via trade, and have been connected to just about every high-leverage reliever available. Another emerged Tuesday, according to league sources: Tampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks.

Alex Freeland is not in the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting lineup for their showdown with the Cincinnati Reds, but he took a major leap forward just by joining the big league roster.

BOTTOM LINE: The Los Angeles Dodgers meet the Cincinnati Reds with a 1-0 series lead. Cincinnati has a 56-51 record overall and a 31-23 record in home games. The Reds are seventh in the NL with 109 total home runs, averaging one per game.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are hopeful closer Tanner Scott will return sooner than expected from an elbow injury, per manager Dave Roberts.
