While L.A.'s championship-winning lineup remains mostly intact, the Dodgers completely revamped their starting rotation in 2025. Gone were James Paxton, Walker Buehler and Bobby Miller, and in their stead came former Cy Young winner Blake Snell, Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki and the return of future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw.

Shohei Ohtani yielded four runs on five hits while pitching a season-high 4 1/3 innings, but Logan O'Hoppe delivered a two-run single in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Angels swept the season Freeway Series with a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
