Shohei Ohtani, Dalton Rushing and Teoscar Hernandez homered, and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the Nationals 8-6 on Sunday in Washington, completing the three-game sweep.<\/p>\n

Ohtani\u2019s sacrifice fly drove in the go-ahead run to cap a four-run eighth inning for the Dodgers. Former National Alex Call had two hits and scored twice.<\/p>\n

James Wood had a three-run homer and Luis Garcia, Jr. hit a two-run shot for Washington, which has dropped five straight.<\/p>\n

With Los Angeles trailing 6-3 in the eighth, Freddie Freeman led off with a single against Cionel Perez (0-1) and Andy Pages doubled him to third. After Call walked, Santiago Espinal lined a single to center, scoring two runs to make it 6-5.<\/p>\n

Will Smith walked and Clayton Beeter came on to face pinch-hitter Kyle Tucker, who grounded into a fielder\u2019s choice that scored Call to make it 6-6. Ohtani then flied to left, scoring Espinal with the go-ahead run.<\/p>\n

Hernandez provided some insurance with a solo homer in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Jack Dreyer (1-0) pitched a scoreless seventh inning for the win and Edwin Diaz worked the ninth for his third save.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles starter Roki Sasaki was roughed up for six runs on five hits over five innings. He walked three and struck out five.<\/p>\n

Washington\u2019s Foster Griffin left with the lead after allowing a run on five hits and three walks. He struck out six.<\/p>\n

Ohtani homered to center in the third to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

In the bottom half, Wood walked with one out and Garcia homered with two down to give Washington the lead.<\/p>\n

The Nationals added four in the fourth. With one out, C.J. Abrams walked and stole second. Keibert Ruiz hit a grounder that deflected off the bag and over the head of first baseman Freeman for an RBI-single. Jose Tena singled and Wood homered to left-center to make it 6-1.<\/p>\n

In the Los Angeles sixth, Call doubled and Rushing hit his first homer of the season to pull the Dodgers within 6-3.<\/p>\n
