ICYMI: @LACOFD ordered another review of its evacuation decision-making the night of the Eaton fire, when evac alerts came hours after flames began to threaten W Altadena.

The findings? No failure.

Residents, experts had... things to say.

Pages grounded into a fielder's choice. Kiké Hernández couldn't beat out a play at first.

The bases have been left loaded in each of the last two half-innings

Yamamoto is back on the mound to try and get this to the 11th

[Jack Harris @ByJackHarris]

More good defense from Miguel Rojas, who makes a quick turn on a Daulton Varsho chopper to start the Dodgers' second inning-ending double-play of the night

Yamamoto not quite as dominant as he was in Game 2, but is thru 4 IP on 58 pitches

3-1 Dodgers, end 4th
