Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani (30) hit a home run, stole a base and drove in two runs, but it wasn’t enough to prevent his team from losing.
Ohtani started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a double, two runs scored, and a stolen base in a home game against the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday (June 16).
With his second straight game with a hit, following a 1-for-4 performance against the San Diego Padres the day before, Ohtani maintained his season average at 3-for-8 (26-for-77).
Against Washington left-hander Mitchell Parker, who was making his major league debut, Ohtani struck first in the first inning. With the count 2-1, he took Parker’s four-pitch, low 80.6 mph (129.7 km/h) curveball for a single into right field. Ohtani then advanced to third on Freddie Freeman’s single to right and scored on Will Smith’s sacrifice fly to center field. Tied 1-1.
In his second at-bat with the bases loaded in the fourth, Ohtani struck out swinging. On a 2-2 count, he swung at Parker’s sixth pitch, 안전놀이터 an 80.3-mph (129.2-kilometer) curveball that landed low and away from his body.
In the sixth inning, Parker led off with a full count against right-hander Matt Barnes.
He swung at an eight-pitch fastball, but it hit the mitt of Washington catcher Riley Adams. Ohtani, who had moved to first base on the catcher’s interference, was cut off on the second pitch of Freeman’s at-bat. He reached first base before Adams’ throw to second. His third stolen base of the season. After advancing to third on a wild pitch, Ohtani stole home on Smith’s grounder to third after Freeman struck out.
The final at-bat of the seventh inning was disappointing. With runners on first and second and two outs, he took a good look at right-hander Hunter Harvey’s 98.6 mph (158.7 km/h) four-seam fastball five pitches outside the zone, but it was a line drive out to center field.
The Dodgers scored a run in the eighth on Teoscar Hernandez’s double and Max Muncy’s RBI single, but fell 6-4. Two straight losses after snapping a two-game losing streak. Despite going 1-4 in their last five games, they are still in first place in the National League West with an 11-8 record (.579 winning percentage).
Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow suffered his first loss of the season after three straight wins, allowing six runs on eight hits (two homers) and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings. He struggled the most since joining the Dodgers, raising his ERA from 2.25 to 3.72.
After giving up a leadoff double to Washington leadoff hitter CJ Abrams in the first inning and a wild pitch, Glasnow gave up two home runs, a solo shot to Abrams in the third and a three-run shot to Luis Garcia Jr. in the fifth.
His four-seam fastball and slider were centered or high in the zone, leading to longballs.
Parker, on the other hand, shut down the Dodgers offense with five innings of four-hit, four-strikeout, two-run ball. He started the game by striking out Dodgers No. 1 Mookie Betts on a high fastball to start the inning, then struck out the final batter of the fifth inning with a big curveball to end the game.
