Shohei Ohtani is taking the mound for the Dodgers for the second time this postseason. He started Game 1 of the NL Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, pitching six innings and allowing three runs with nine strikeouts. In the regular season, Ohtani pitched 47 innings, sporting a 2.87 ERA with 62 strikeouts. Per usual, he's also leading off for the Dodgers.
Quintana threw only 67 pitches today, allowing three earned runs on four hits and two walks over four innings of work. That final inning was a painful one for the veteran southpaw, as Quintana was hit by a Pedro Pages comebacker in the first at-bat of the frame, and Murphy said Quintana then hurt his calf while covering first base to record the final out.
