TORONTO — – Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a> allowed one run in six-plus innings, Shohei Ohtani<\/a> extended his career-best on-base streak to 42 games and the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> pushed their winning streak to five, beating the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> 4-1 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Ohtani led off the game with a four-pitch walk. He also hit an RBI single in the third inning and was walked intentionally in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Alex Freeland<\/a> had three hits, drove in a run and scored twice. Kyle Tucker<\/a> struck out three times in his first four at-bats but gave the Dodgers some insurance with an RBI single off Jeff Hoffman<\/a> in the ninth.<\/p>\n

One day after they were pounded 14-2 in this World Series rematch, the Blue Jays extended their losing streak to six games. Toronto never lost more than five straight last season.<\/p>\n

Last year’s World Series MVP in LA’s seven-game victory over Toronto, Yamamoto (2-1) allowed one run and five hits. He walked one and struck out six.<\/p>\n

Yamamoto was pulled after giving up a double and an infield single to begin the seventh. Alex Vesia<\/a> walked pinch-hitter Davis Schneider<\/a> to load the bases, then retired the next three batters.<\/p>\n

Blake Treinen<\/a> worked the eighth and Edwin D\u00edaz finished for his fourth save in four chances.<\/p>\n

Toronto’s Kevin Gausman<\/a> (0-1) allowed three runs and five hits in 5 1\/3 innings. The right-hander has received just one run of support in three starts.<\/p>\n

Blue Jays manager John Schneider was ejected in the top of the fifth for arguing with plate umpire Dan Merzel after a balk by Gausman.<\/p>\n

Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas<\/a> was scratched shortly before the first pitch to attend to a family matter. Hyeseong Kim<\/a> replaced him.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Ohtani (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is scheduled to start in Wednesday’s series finale. RHP Dylan Cease<\/a> (0-0, 2.79) goes for Toronto.<\/p>\n
