Shohei Ohtani Pitches 3 Scoreless Innings Against the Giants
SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 12 – Ohtani pitched three scoreless innings in his first outing against the Giants as the Dodgers cautiously increase his workload following elbow surgery recovery.
- On July 12, 2025, Shohei Ohtani opened for the Los Angeles Dodgers in San Francisco, throwing three innings without allowing a run against the Giants.
- Ohtani missed the entire 2024 season on the mound as he recovered from his second Tommy John procedure performed in late 2023, leading to uncertainty about his ability to continue as a two-way player.
- In his fifth outing as the Dodgers' opener this season, Ohtani delivered a total of 36 pitches, 25 of which were strikes, striking out all three batters in the first inning on just 12 throws and giving up only one hit across three innings.
- His fastball was clocked twice at 99.9 mph, and he walked one batter while maintaining a 1-0 lead when leaving the game after the third inning.
- Ohtani's performance offered hope to the Dodgers during their season-high seven-game losing streak and suggested he might return as an efficient, potent player if his elbow remains healthy.
