Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani led the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 8-0 victory over the San Diego Padres, forcing a decisive Game 5 in the NL Division Series. Betts homered and drove in two runs, while Ohtani contributed an RBI single, showcasing their importance with Freddie Freeman sidelined.

The Dodgers' bullpen excelled, extending their scoreless streak to 15 innings, while the Padres' starter Dylan Cease struggled. The teams will clash again on Friday for a chance to advance to the National League Championship Series.
