O'Hoppe leaves early, Angels suffer loss at the hands of Dodger home run derby
The Los Angeles Dodgers took game one of the Freeway Series at Angel Stadium.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (27) and outfielder Jo Adell (7) run during the MLB game against the Los Angeles Dodgers Friday May 15th, 2026 at Angel's Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. ANAHEIM, Calif. - The Los Angeles Dodgers took a trip down the freeway looking to play against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday in the first game of the Freeway Series and while the Angels' bats went blank, the Dodgers' bats did quite the opposite.
The Dodgers suffered a pitching shakeup after it was announced just hours before first pitch that Blake Snell, who was scheduled to start the game, was placed on the Injured List as the latest victim of loose bodies in the elbow. As a result, the Dodgers threw a bullpen game, using eight different pitchers. While not the plan going into the game, the Dodgers clearly weren't hurt by the shakeup as they held the Angels to just two hits and no runs.
