The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 13-5 on June 7, 2026, in a home game at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers faced a challenging outing when manager Dave Roberts pulled starter Emmet Sheehan after just 1⅓ innings, which opened the floodgates for the Angels' offense. Sheehan, who had thrown 49 pitches, had allowed two runs but had shown potential by pitching well in prior games. Following his departure, the Dodgers' bullpen struggled, with Jonathan Hernández allowing six runs over 1⅔ innings. Jo Adell and Sebastián Rivero led the Angels' offensive charge, with Rivero finishing 5-for-5 and contributing five RBIs. The game marked one of the Dodgers' most disappointing performances of the season.
