New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Shohei Ohtani pitched six hitless innings with seven strikeouts and hit a leadoff home run, leading the Dodgers to a 4-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies and completing a three-game series sweep.
- Despite his dominant performance, Ohtani expressed frustration over his command and control, issuing four walks and hitting a batter, which allowed the Rockies’ only run.
- The Dodgers extended their winning streak to five games and now hold a 4.5-game lead in the NL West, capitalizing on the struggles of the Padres and the surging Diamondbacks.
- Teoscar Hernández left the game early with a left hamstring strain and is expected to be placed on the injured list, posing a setback for the Dodgers’ offense alongside Kiké Hernández’s recent oblique injury.
- The Dodgers will rest Thursday before hosting the Philadelphia Phillies in a weekend NLDS rematch, with Justin Wrobleski scheduled to start Friday’s opener.
