Shohei Ohtani Dominates in 6 Scoreless Innings, Dodgers Rout Diamondbacks 7-0
Ohtani allowed three baserunners and improved to a 0.74 ERA as the Dodgers completed a shutout and gave him Thursday off.
- On Wednesday, Shohei Ohtani pitched six scoreless innings, improving his ERA to 0.74 as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-0. Ohtani retired the first 11 batters he faced.
- Efficiency defined Ohtani's approach after issuing four walks against the Rockies last week. He prioritized pitching deeper into games rather than allowing hits, successfully limiting base runners to three total.
- Right fielder Kyle Tucker hit a 107.6 mph home run, his hardest contact this year per Statcast. Ohtani reached base five times, maintaining a National League-leading.420 on-base percentage and becoming one of 15 qualified hitters batting over.300.
- Right-Hander Jonathan Hernández and lefty Jack Dreyer completed the shutout Ohtani started. Manager Dave Roberts scheduled Ohtani for a day off Thursday, though leaving open a pinch-hit possibility if needed.
- The Dodgers are navigating a 10-day stretch without an off day, influencing Roberts' decision to rest Ohtani. The team balances his two-way workload to keep him refreshed during the grueling schedule.
