UPDATE: The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a crucial victory against the Baltimore Orioles today, breaking a troubling trend of losses. In a high-stakes matchup on September 7, 2025, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the Dodgers rallied behind star Shohei Ohtani, who launched two home runs, leading the team to victory.
The Dodgers entered this game having lost seven of their last eight against non-contending teams, including a sweep by the Pittsburgh Pirates. With Clayton Kershaw on the mound and a need for momentum, the Dodgers responded decisively. Ohtani set the tone early, hitting a home run in the first inning, followed by another in the third, establishing a strong 2-0 lead that the Dodgers maintained throughout the game.
Mookie Betts praised Ohtani’s performance, stating, “
Obviously, that’s Shohei, right? But it just shows the vibes were high today. We had really good energy before the game. We had Kershaw taking the mound, so obviously we have a lot of confidence there. Shohei jump-starting it lets us know we’re fine.
”
This win is critical for the defending champions as they attempt to regain their form ahead of the playoffs. Ohtani’s two-homer game not only boosts the Dodgers’ morale but also keeps his bid for another MVP award alive. The team’s performance today is a vital sign that they can turn their season around in the final stretch.
As the Dodgers look to build on this victory, fans will be watching closely to see if this momentum can carry them into the postseason. The immediate focus remains on maintaining the high energy and confidence demonstrated today.
