Shohei Ohtani hits a two-run home run and Will Smith hits a pair of solo homers, but Tanner Scott is injured in the Dodgers' 5-2 win over the Minnesota Twins.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the bottom of the first after giving up a leadoff homer to fellow All-Star Byron Buxton, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Minnesota Twins 5-2 on Monday night.

Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani wasn't particularly sharp in his second consecutive three-inning outing Monday night, allowing his first home run of the season and seven batted balls that exceeded 95 mph -- but he made up for it at the plate.

The Dodgers approach the trade deadline trying to square their lofty preseason expectations with what has proved to be an imperfect start to the year.

Jeff Passan recently broke down who he views as the best fit for the Los Angeles Dodgers at the upcoming trade deadline.

With just one week remaining until Major League Baseball's 2025 trade deadline, it sure is shaping up to be a year in which a whole lot of buyers are fighting over the few assets the sellers have to offer.
