(CNA, San Francisco, 22nd) Whenever Los Angeles Dodgers "two-way" star Shohei Ohtani takes the mound this season, the team can expect him to give his all. He did not disappoint tonight against the San Francisco Giants, pitching 6 scoreless innings. However, he went 0-for-4 at the plate, and his consecutive on-base streak ended at 53 games.
In tonight's game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Ohtani made his fourth start of the season. He struck out 7 batters, allowed 5 hits, issued no walks, and lowered his ERA to an astonishing 0.38.
He threw a total of 91 pitches, with 7 pitches exceeding 100 miles per hour, including 5 in his final two innings of work.
Although Ohtani was dominant on the pitching rubber, his on-base streak came to an end. It stopped at 53 games, tying Shawn Green for the longest streak since the Dodgers relocated to Los Angeles in 1958.
Ohtani allowed two hits in the first inning but defused the threat with three strikeouts. He then completely shut down the opposing lineup for three consecutive innings.
In the 6th inning, the Giants threatened when Matt Chapman singled and Rafael Devers doubled, putting runners in scoring position with two outs. But Ohtani struck out Casey Schmitt with three consecutive sweepers, successfully escaping the jam and walking off the mound fired up.
After Ohtani exited, left-handed reliever Jack Dreyer gave up a three-run home run to Patrick Bailey in the 7th inning, breaking the deadlock and ultimately handing the Dodgers a 0-3 loss.
