The loss dropped the Reds to 56-52, and they'll need to win July 30 in the series finale against the Dodgers to avoid their first sweep of the season. Cincinnati is expected to send starter Nick Martinez (9-9, 4.69 ERA) to the mound against probable Dodgers starter, Shohei Ohtani (0-0, 1.50 ERA).

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds square off in the last game of a three-game series. The Dodgers can sweep the series with a victory.

Shohei Ohtani extended his hitting streak to nine games with a two-run double in the fifth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds 5-2
