Tarik Skubal yielded three runs over five innings in his home debut for the Dodgers, and Shohei Ohtani scored the go-ahead run in the seventh while Los Angeles rallied for only its second victory in 10 games, 6-5 over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.
Skubal allowed four hits and struck out six in the back-to-back Cy Young Award winner’s second start for his new team since arriving from Detroit in the majors’ biggest deadline trade. Jac Caglianone homered and drove in all three runs off the Dodgers’ vaunted new left-hander, who left trailing 3-2.
Max Muncy hit a three-run double in the sixth on his bobblehead night for the Dodgers, but Kyle Isbel responded with a tying two-run homer in the seventh for Kansas City.
