WASHINGTON - Shohei Ohtani homered and drove in the go-ahead run as the Los Angeles Dodgers overcame a costly outing from Roki Sasaki to beat the Washington Nationals 8-6 and sweep their three-game series on Sunday.

Making his second start of the season, Sasaki gave up a career-high six earned runs but persevered through five innings to limit the burden on the Los Angeles bullpen.
