Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani Enters Cy Young Discussion with 0.82 ERA

Ohtani’s seven scoreless innings gave the Dodgers a 4-0 win and pushed his ERA to 0.82, the sixth lowest through seven starts since 1994.

  • On Wednesday, Shohei Ohtani fired 7 scoreless innings, allowing 4 hits as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Francisco Giants 4-0, snapping a 4-game losing streak.
  • Attempting a full-season two-way role for the first time in 4 years, Ohtani has balanced pitching excellence with a hitting slump, prompting the Dodgers to strategically rest him.
  • Ohtani ranks 3rd in WHIP at 0.82, the 2nd-lowest ERA by a Dodgers pitcher through 7 starts, surpassed only by Fernando Valenzuela in 1981 and Jacob deGrom in 2021.
  • To manage his workload, Ohtani will sit for Thursday's series finale. "I talked to the team and I'm good with it," Ohtani said of the planned rest.
  • Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts praised Ohtani's trajectory, saying, "He wants to be the best pitcher in baseball. And right now, he's doing it" as the team deploys a strict 6-man rotation.
