US EditionOhtani Gets First Win with Dodgers, Strikes Out Season-High 9 on His Bobblehead Night
Shohei Ohtani struck out a season-high nine batters over five innings, securing his first Dodgers pitching win since 2023 and helping complete a three-game sweep.
- On Wednesday night, Shohei Ohtani struck out a season-high nine over five innings for his first win as a Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher in a 5-1 victory that completed a three-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds.
- Facing recent struggles, Shohei Ohtani leaned on his curveball, throwing it 23 times after gradually increasing workload since his June 16 return post right elbow surgery.
- The box score recorded Shohei Ohtani working five innings with nine strikeouts on 87 pitches, 53 strikes, while five Dodgers pitchers combined for a franchise-record 19 strikeouts.
- The result lifted the Dodgers to the National League's second seed with 28 games remaining and extended their NL West lead to two games over the San Diego Padres.
- The Dodgers intend to keep Shohei Ohtani at five innings per start until the postseason, allowing a month to refine his pitches and potentially join rotation mates Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Tyler Glasnow for October planning.
