Will Smith and Freddie Freeman hit RBI singles to erase a two-run deficit, later Smith has go-ahead double as Dodgers beat Reds.

Barry Larkin: "You're trained if that ball is gonna handcuff you as that first cut-off man, you let it go. Matt McLain was definitely there."

Will Smith doubled home James Outman with the go-ahead run with two outs in the ninth and finished with 2-for-5 with two RBIs to rally the Los Angeles Dodgers past the host Cincinnati Reds, 5-4 on Tuesday.

Throughout the Dodgers' midsummer skid, they haven't quite been in sync. A badly slumping offense seemed the culprit for the team's struggles midway through July, while a rotation trending in the right direction was offset by a leaky bullpen.

Tuesday night's 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers was a gut-punch for the Reds. It was a game the Reds led 4-2 through six innings and, just as they did Monday night, had the chance to break wide open early and often. The Dodgers are the measuring stick for every team in the National League, and the Reds are finding that out this week.

Chase Burns made Cincinnati Reds history against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers called up infielder Alex Freeland and placed infielder Hyeseong Kim on the 10-day injured list before Tuesday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds.
