He also hit an RBI single in the third inning and was walked intentionally in the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Freeland had three hits, drove in a run and scored twice. Kyle Tucker struck out three times in his first four at-bats but gave the Dodgers some insurance with an RBI single off Jeff Hoffman in the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Last year&#8217;s World Series MVP in LA&#8217;s seven-game victory over Toronto, Yamamoto (2-1) allowed one run and five hits.

Alex Vesia walked pinch-hitter Davis Schneider to load the bases, then retired the next three batters.<\/p>\n<p>Blake Treinen worked the eighth and Edwin D\u00edaz finished for his fourth save in four chances.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto&#8217;s Kevin Gausman (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<p>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<p>Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas was scratched shortly before the first pitch to attend to a family matter. Hyeseong Kim replaced him.<\/p>\n<p>Up next<\/p>\n<p>Ohtani (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is scheduled to start in Wednesday&#8217;s series finale.
