In LA Battle, Angels Overcome Ohtani, Knock Dodgers Out of First Place

Ohtani's first start against his former team, the Angels, at Angel Stadium is scheduled for Wednesday, where he is expected to pitch 4.1 innings and throw 80 pitches.
The team’s plan, as Roberts said, is for Ohtani to go four innings while building up his pitch count, not exceeding five innings during the season.
In the second inning, Ward hit a solo home run off Ohtani; he allowed four runs and was chased after Neto’s two-run double cut the lead to 5-4.
The Angels secured a walk-off win as Jo Adell delivered a single to drive in the winning run after Vesia couldn't hold the ninth-inning lead.
Despite the defeat, the Dodgers remain tied for first in the NL West at 68-52, with Ohtani tripling and scoring as the Dodgers' leadoff hitter.
