CHICAGO — Shohei Ohtani homered again and Gavin Stone pitched four-hit ball to help the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago White Sox 4-0 on Wednesday for their fourth straight victory.
Ohtani smashed a full-count cut fastball by Erick Fedde and sent it to deep right-center field for his 25th home run, leading the National League. The ball, which traveled 437 feet, had an exit velocity of 113.9 mph.
Ohtani’s third leadoff home run of the season extended his RBI streak to 10 games, a franchise record. The two-time American League MVP also hit a line drive Tuesday in Los Angeles’ 4-3 victory.
Stone (9-2) struck out seven and walked none in the first complete game of his career, providing major support to the NL West leaders after their bullpen was responsible for 11 shutout innings in the first two games of the sweep. The right-hander improved to 8-1 with a 2.03 ERA in his last 11 starts.
Fedde (5-3) allowed four runs and five hits in six innings. He fell to 4-1 in seven home starts this season.
For the Dodgers, Puerto Rican Enrique Hernández went 1 for 4 with one run scored. Venezuelan Miguel Rojas 4-2. Dominican Teoscar Hernández was 0-for-3 with an RBI.
For the White Sox, Venezuelan Lenyn Sosa is 3-1.
