"The Los Angeles Dodgers went into their road trip planning on having Shohei Ohtani start in the middle game of a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he was scratched from the outing due to feeling under the weather. Ohtani has remained in the lineup as the Dodgers' designated hitter despite not feeling 100%, and managed to hit his 100th home run with the team. He did so in record fashion by reaching the century mark in the fewest number of games with the Dodgers."
"He wound up throwing 70 pitches over 3.2 innings and exited with the game tied. Ohtani retired the first five batters faced before allowing a two-out single in the second inning. Emmanuel Rivera moved into scoring position on a wild pitch, but Ohtani then struck out Dylan Beavers to end the inning. There was a slight delay before he pitched the bottom of the third due to Ohtani ending the top half of the inning on base after his walk."
Shohei Ohtani was removed from a planned start during a road trip after feeling under the weather but stayed in the lineup as the Dodgers' designated hitter. He hit his 100th home run for Los Angeles, reaching the milestone in the fewest games with the club. The Dodgers initially planned for him to start against Baltimore, then pushed the start back to allow recovery from a chest cold. After Tyler Glasnow was scratched with lower back tightness, Ohtani was inserted as the starter. He threw 70 pitches over 3.2 innings and exited with the game tied.
