Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman homered and six pitchers combined for seven innings of scoreless relief to boost the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-3 victory against the host Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.

Los Angeles won for the seventh time in its past nine games despite being outhit 8-7. The Dodgers are 2-0 to begin a six-game road trip.

The White Sox have dropped six of their past seven, with four of those losses coming at home.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs, and he opened the game with a solo shot to right-center. Right fielder Tommy Pham nearly robbed the homer, but the ball glanced off his glove and landed in the bullpen.

Ohtani became the first Dodgers player since 1955 to drive in a run in nine straight games.

Chicago answered quickly. In the home half of the first, Andrew Benintendi followed Pham’s leadoff walk with a two-run shot to right field, and Eloy Jimenez contributed an RBI double two batters later to make it 3-1.

Dodgers starter Bobby Miller labored through the first inning, throwing 38 pitches, including 11 to record an eventual strikeout of Paul DeJong.

Miller, who grew up in McHenry, Ill., lasted just two innings. He gave up three runs and four hits to go along with three walks and one strikeout.

Freeman ensured Miller wouldn’t get tagged with the loss when he got to White Sox starter Chris Flexen for a two-run homer to left in the third inning, tying things at 3-all.

Ohtani hit a go-ahead RBI single in the fourth to give Los Angeles a 4-3 lead.

Flexen fell to 2-7 and remains in search of his first victory since May 8. He scattered four runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings, walking three and fanning three.

Michael Petersen started the Dodgers’ relief relay, allowing one hit and two walks in two scoreless innings. He picked up the win to improve to 2-0. Evan Phillips pitched a perfect ninth for his 13th save of the year.

Gavin Sheets had two hits for Chicago, which stranded 10 runners on base and went 0-for-9 with men in scoring position.
