Shohei Ohtani's magical two-way performance leads Dodgers past Dbacks
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Shohei Ohtani continues to dominate in his first full two-way season post-Tommy John surgery, delivering a scoreless six-inning pitching performance and going 3-for-4 at the plate, raising his ERA to 0.74 and batting average above .300.
- Ohtani's pitching has been exceptional, with no start allowing more than two runs this season and an efficient 89-pitch outing against the Diamondbacks, striking out six and limiting baserunners.
- Offensively, Ohtani is hitting .435 over the last 20 games with 16 RBIs and an OPS of 1.254, contributing significantly to the Dodgers' recent success, including 16 wins in their last 20 games.
- The Dodgers are positioned for a sixth-straight series win, with strong performances from players like Kyle Tucker, who broke out with a 3-hit game and a season-best home run.
- The Dodgers will conclude their four-game series against the Diamondbacks on Thursday, with Justin Wrobleski pitching for the Dodgers against Ryne Nelson.
