Freeman sent a 3-2 pitch from former Dodger reliever Kirby Yates (0-2) over the wall in deep center and was greeted by his teammates at home plate. Fans chanted \u201cFreddie! Freddie!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dodgers were on the losing end of a walkoff homer in Arizona on Thursday night. Freeman finished with two hits and a walk Friday.<\/p>\n

Blake Treinen (3-1) got the win in relief with a scoreless ninth.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers outscored the Angels 31-3 in winning the teams\u2019 first three meetings this season. Friday\u2019s series opener at Dodger Stadium was taut, with each team notching three hits.<\/p>\n

Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki struck out a career-high 10 over seven scoreless innings. He didn\u2019t allow a hit until the fifth when Nick Madrigal doubled with one out. The Japanese right-hander lowered his ERA to 4.03.<\/p>

Angels starter Reid Detmers matched Sasaki through three hitless innings of his own before Freeman singled in the fourth. The left-hander gave up two hits over six innings, struck out six and walked two.<\/p>\n

Angels slugger Mike Trout was hitless in four at-bats, and struck out three times. His former teammate, Shohei Ohtani, didn\u2019t fare any better. The two-way superstar was 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Angels RHP Jack Kochanowitz (2-4, 5.23 ERA) was set to start Saturday against Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (5-4, 2.86).<\/p>
