LOS ANGELES (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Dodgers used a four-run sixth inning to overcome an early deficit and defeat the Cincinnati Reds 8-4 on Wednesday in Game 2 of their playoff series, taking a commanding 2-0 lead.

A crowd of 50,465 at Dodger Stadium watched the Reds jump ahead 2-0 in the first inning on a two-run single by Sal Stewart. The Dodgers chipped away before breaking the game open in the sixth, keyed by a two-run double from Mookie Betts, who finished with four hits and three RBIs.

Winning pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was dominant, allowing just four hits and striking out nine over 6 2/3 scoreless innings. The Dodgers finished with 13 hits. The series resumes Thursday in Los Angeles.
