A Single by Kirk and a Double by Clement will end Ohtani's day.

Toronto has some big insurance runs on the bases with Anthony Banda coming in to relieve Ohtani.

The #Dodgers had a chance to get back in this game, but Mason Fluharty gets Muncy to fly out and Edman to strike out and end the inning.

2-1 TOR after 6.
