Dodgers stars overpowers Cubs in Tokyo Series Game 1

The Dodgers had Japanese ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound while the Cubs also had compatriot Shota Imanaga to rival from the other half of inning.

The Cubs took the lead in the second innings, with Miguel Amaya driving in Dansby Swanson for the first run of the game.

The Dodgers not only tied the game in the fifth but added two more runs to take a 3-1 lead in the game. With Ben Brown on the mound, he first walked Andy Pages followed by a single to Ohtani to get traffic on bases. Tommy Edman's single to left field drove in Pages and put Ohtani on second.

A throwing error by second baseman Jon Berti allowed Ohtani to reach home plate for the lead. Finally, an RBI single from Will Smith put Dodgers well ahead with a 3-1 lead.

All in the meantime, Yoshinobu Yamamoto held his end without allowing any more run in his five innings of work. The Dodgers reliever also made sure the game didn't slip up. Ohtani came around to score once again in the ninth when Teoscar Hernandez singled to left field.

That was the last and final run scored in the game as the Dodgers won 4-1.
