US Edition"It's Good to Finally Put a W on the Board" - Shohei Ohtani Opens up After Leading Dodgers Past Giants with Flaming Fastballs
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, JUL 12 – Shohei Ohtani struck out the side in the first inning and pitched three scoreless innings to help end the Dodgers' seven-game losing streak, showing progress after elbow surgery.
- On Saturday in San Francisco, Shohei Ohtani delivered three hitless innings on the mound, helping the Dodgers secure a 2-1 victory over the Giants and snap a seven-game losing streak.
- The Dodgers had struggled with their longest skid since 2017 due to inconsistent pitching and offense, but Ohtani's return from surgery improved their rotation and morale.
- Ohtani threw 36 pitches including two 99.9 mph fastballs, struck out four batters, allowed one hit, and showed improved command by leaning on his fastball more today.
- Ohtani expressed satisfaction with limiting the opposing team’s scoring and maintaining their advantage for the entire match, while Dodgers manager Dave Roberts remarked on Ohtani’s noticeably different attitude on his pitching days.
- The victory suggests the Dodgers might build momentum with Ohtani’s two-way contributions as he continues recovering, and the team hopes this marks the start of more wins.
