"We've been very steadfast in every situation as far as inning for his usage -- from one inning to two to three to four to five. We haven't deviated from that. So I was trying to get his pulse for going forward, where he's at, continuing to go to the sixth inning. And he says, 'Feel OK.' That was good.

Shohei Ohtani completed five no-hit innings using 68 pitches against the Philadelphia Phillies but did not return to pitch in the sixth despite saying he felt OK. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts asked Ohtani about his status "for the future," but kept a firm inning limit. Rookie left-hander Justin Wrobleski surrendered a four-run lead, and later Blake Treinen allowed a three-run homer by Rafael Marchan that decided the game 9-6. Ohtani later hit his 50th home run. The loss amplified doubts about the Dodgers' bullpen depth and created uncertainty about Ohtani's October pitching workload.
