"Ohtani had a stellar outing for LA, striking out four batters through 4.1 scoreless innings. He allowed four baserunners in the contest, but only gave up one hit. The right-hander had some difficulty with location, but made up for it with his velocity, which reached 99 on his four-seamer."
"The Dodgers got on the board early to give Ohtani a cushion, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first inning. They hit three straight singles to kick off the bottom of the first, with Miguel Rojas crossing the plate on the third. Teoscar Hernandez hit a bloop single to center shortly after to score Freddie Freeman, who recorded the second hit of the inning."
"LA's pitching performed well outside of the single mistake, marking another strong showing following their embarrassing 24-9 loss against the Brewers on Monday. Blake Treinen, Alex Vesia, Edgardo Henriquez, Will Klein and Ohtani all had scoreless outings in the game."
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Francisco Giants in Shohei Ohtani's first start of the season. Ohtani pitched 4.1 scoreless innings with four strikeouts, allowing four baserunners but only one hit despite some location issues. The Dodgers scored early, with two runs in the first inning on three consecutive singles and a bloop hit. Freddie Freeman added a home run in the third inning, and Nick Senzel hit another in the seventh. The Giants scored their only run in the eighth on a solo shot by Victor Bericoto off Tanner Scott. The game ended after eight innings due to extreme heat in Phoenix, with temperatures reaching 98 degrees.
