Central News Agency, Los Angeles, May 13 (Comprehensive Foreign Report) - Japanese two-way star Shohei Ohtani pitched seven scoreless innings tonight, giving up only four hits. The Los Angeles Dodgers also provided their four-time MVP winner with his most ample run support of the season, ultimately shutting out the San Francisco Giants 4-0.

Associated Press reports that the Dodgers ended their longest losing streak of the season at four games. Ohtani served only as a pitcher this night, marking the fourth time this season he did not appear as a designated hitter. The two-way star will also be out of the lineup tomorrow, giving him a two-day break from hitting.

Ohtani recorded 8 strikeouts and 2 walks in this outing, pitching a full seven innings in consecutive starts. This is not only his first time achieving this since joining the Dodgers but also the first time since May 2023 while with the Los Angeles Angels. His ERA has dropped to 0.82. Notably, the tongue of his right shoe featured a portrait of his dog, Decoy.

In Ohtani's seven starts this season, the Dodgers have scored more than four runs in only one game, with the team holding an overall record of 3-4 in those games. In their last seven games, the Dodgers have had six or fewer hits in five of them. (Translator: Chen Yu-ting) 1150514
