In the Dodgers' first game without star shortstop Mookie Betts, who is expected to sit out roughly six to eight weeks, the team cruised to a 9-5 win over the Colorado Rockies.
Ohtani, batting leadoff in place of Betts, went 3 for 4 with an RBI and a walk. Rojas, filling in at shortstop, had a three-hit, two-run performance.
Ohtani and Rojas provided key contributions amidst injuries to Betts and others. Ohtani's .314 batting average and .989 OPS rank high in the National League.
The Dodgers are relying on Ohtani and Rojas to maintain their impressive performances in the absence of Betts, reassuring fans of the team's depth and resilience.
