"You could see it … that different demeanor that he carries on days that he pitches," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.

Shohei Ohtani pitched three scoreless innings, Alex Vesia emerged from a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday afternoon.

Ohtani pitches three innings for the first time and Sheehan follows, as the Dodgers take a shutout into the eighth inning and hang on to beat the Giants, 2-1.
