"He's a special player, and when he gets barrel to the ball it's going to be hard. With what he's done this year, if he gets the ball in the air, it's probably not going to be good for me, so I'm really just trying to throw swing and miss pitches from the first pitch of the game." - Chris Sale.
Ohtani is now 0-for-6 over his last two games since hitting his NL-leading 47th home run on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs. He remains three home runs and two stolen bases away from joining the 50-50 club.
The Dodgers dropped a second consecutive game to the Atlanta Braves, stymied by National League Cy Young Award favorite Chris Sale, who held them to one run over six innings.
Manager Dave Roberts left open the possibility of Ohtani returning to the mound in October, but he continued to maintain that the chances of him doing so are highly unlikely.
