Shohei Ohtani also hit one of the more impressive opposite-field homers you&#8217;re going to see, and Mookie and Shohei each stole a base, too. Clayton Kershaw got his first win of the season with 5.2 great innings, with his only run allowed coming after he had left the game. Before the game, Amed Rosario was DFA&#8217;d to make room for Betts, a surprising move that we dig into here. And finally, we talk about the potential of the LA bullpen with Joe Kelly and Michael Kopech as the conversation starters.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you&#8217;ll ever meet.
