CINCINNATI (AP) — Spencer Steer hit a two-run triple in the eighth inning and the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 on Wednesday night after Shohei Ohtani’s pitching outing was cut short.

Ohtani left the mound accompanied by a trainer during the fourth inning with no outs and a 2-0 count against Spencer Steer. The Dodgers’ two-way superstar threw six straight balls, including two consecutive wild pitches.
