Shohei Ohtani pitched effectively for the Los Angeles Dodgers, striking out seven batters over six no-hit innings. He walked four batters, an uncharacteristic wildness that helped the Colorado Rockies score their only run in the fourth inning. Ohtani lowered his season ERA to 0.82, the lowest in Dodgers franchise history through a pitcher's first nine starts. He also tied a notable MLB mark for ERA through a pitcher's first nine starts since the Live Ball Era began in 1920. Ohtani also hit a leadoff home run to give the Dodgers an early 1-0 lead, extending his franchise leadoff home run totals.
"Ohtani also hit a leadoff home run to give the Dodgers an early 1-0 lead. It was the fourth time he led off a game with a home run this season and the 28th such instance in his career. Ohtani's round-tripper broke a tie with Joc Pederson for the third-most leadoff home runs in Dodgers franchise history (22), which trails only Mookie Betts (32) and Davey Lopes (28)."
