Skubal carries Dodgers past Reds 3–2 for a sixth straight win

What happened

The Associated Press box from Tuesday night in Los Angeles has Tarik Skubal pitching the Dodgers past the Cincinnati Reds, 3–2, for Los Angeles’ sixth consecutive victory. Skubal (9–7) allowed two runs and four hits in 7 1/3 innings, struck out five, and walked two. The Dodgers have won each of his last four outings. Teoscar Hernández singled home the go-ahead run in the fifth and finished 3 for 3 with a walk; AP notes he is hitting .484 over his last nine games. Will Smith homered early for the NL West leaders.

That is the whole Sports filing: a deep start, a clutch single, an early homer, and a streak that now sits at six. Cartoon ballplayers only — never likenesses of living athletes. Bright Dodger blue under night lights. White gutters. The AP URL is the receipt.

Why it matters

September baseball rewards the nights that still move the standings. A sixth straight win for the division leaders, banked behind a starter who keeps finishing deep, is a clean Sports slot for a Wednesday filing. Skip farm-system speculation. Keep politics out of the dugout.

Sports packages here are dated scoreboard comics. Readers get the inning, the score, the streak, and the source. Not a season retrospective — one night’s AP wire.

Conclusion

Skubal’s 7 1/3, Hernández’s go-ahead single, and Smith’s early homer added up to a 3–2 Dodgers win and a sixth straight, per AP. Source: https://apnews.com/article/dodgers-reds-score-skubal-af44c735ba300b8acce9b283882ca007
