Shohei Ohtani broke a 13-game home run drought with a solo shot in the third inning, lifting spirits briefly in the Dodgers’ dugout during their 6-2 loss to the Giants on May 12, 2026. Despite Ohtani’s two-hit night, the Dodgers experienced their fourth consecutive defeat, plagued by a struggling offense and shaky pitching from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who allowed three home runs. Manager Dave Roberts noted the team’s lack of scoring opportunities, as they failed to capitalize on bases-loaded chances. The loss marks the Dodgers’ worrying trend of underperformance, as they continue to struggle against the Giants this season.
