<p>ANAHEIM, Calif. — David Fletcher drove in three runs on three hits, Shohei Ohtani had two RBI doubles and the Los Angeles Angels snapped their five-game losing streak with a 9-2 victory over the slumping Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.</p>
<p>Justin Upton and Taylor Ward homered in the Angels’ four-run second inning, and Mike Trout had a late RBI triple as the Halos opened the Freeway Series with only their fifth win in 16 games.</p>
<p>Mookie Betts homered in the ninth for the Dodgers, who have lost four straight. The defending World Series champions swept the six-game Freeway Series last season, but they’ve lost 14 of 18 overall this year in an increasingly alarming early-season swoon.</p>
<p>Griffin Canning (3-2) pitched six-hit ball into the sixth inning, ending the Angels’ recent pitching woes with three walks and four strikeouts. Patrick Sandoval pitched 3 1/3 innings of relief for his first save.</p>
<p>Julio Urías (4-1) had his least impressive start in a strong season for the Dodgers, yielding eight hits and five runs over five innings in his Angel Stadium debut.</p>
<p>The Dodgers actually scored first on Matt Beaty’s RBI groundout in the second, but Upton led off the Angels’ half with a 436-foot homer in his first game since returning from a two-day break with a bruised knee.</p>
<p>After Ward added his first homer of the season, catcher Drew Butera doubled in the first at-bat of his season debut before scoring on Fletcher’s two-run single.</p>
<p>The Dodgers are already struggling mightily with pitching injuries, and their overall injury situation got even more shaky when Anaheim native Joe Kelly made his season debut in the sixth.</p>
<p>The veteran reliever was tagged for RBI hits by Jose Rojas — a fellow Anaheim native — along with Fletcher, Ohtani and Trout, who got credit for a triple when AJ Pollock misplayed his sinking liner to left. Pollock walked off the field gingerly after the play.</p>
<p>Kelly, who had surgery to remove cysts in his shoulder late last year, gave up five hits and four runs while getting just two outs.</p>
<p>BUTERA ARRIVES</p>
<p>The Angels acquired Butera from Texas earlier in the day in exchange for cash considerations. The 37-year-old journeyman catcher played 10 games for the Halos in 2015 before being traded to Kansas City and winning a World Series ring. Butera is filling in alongside Kurt Suzuki while Max Stassi and Anthony Bemboom are out with injuries.</p>
<p>TRAINER’S ROOM</p>
<p>Dodgers: OF Cody Bellinger ran at 60% effort and felt good afterward in Arizona, manager Dave Roberts said. The former NL MVP hasn’t played since April 5 with a hairline fracture in his left leg. … Rookie Zach McKinstry is moving without pain from his oblique injury.</p>
<p>Angels: Bemboom can’t play because his back recently “locked up,” manager Joe Maddon said. Stassi is on the injured list with an apparent concussion.</p>
<p>UP NEXT</p>
<p>Clayton Kershaw (4-3, 2.95 ERA) will start on three days’ rest for the first time since the 2016 playoffs against the Angels’ Dylan Bundy (0-3, 4.00 ERA). Kershaw is helping out the injury-depleted Dodgers because he’s coming off the shortest start of his career Tuesday against the Cubs, throwing 39 pitches and going just one inning.</p>
