"Another game against the Phillies, another top-line starter as they drew ace Cristopher Sanchez. They started with a Shohei Ohtani lead-off single in the 1st but got nothing else, though the 2nd went much better. With one down, Alex Call made it 1-0 Dodgers with his fifth dinger of the year in the 2nd. Following that, reached out and poked a single and Enrique Hernandez followed by smashing his 9th homer to left to put them up 3-0 just like that."
"While all of this was going on, Shohei Ohtani was just cruising along on the mound. Like literally there wasn't much to talk about here, as Ohtani issued a two-out walk in the 1st and then gave up nothing else for the next four innings. Just complete and utter dominance. Controversially, despite throwing a no-no, Dave Roberts stuck to the innings limit and went to the pen: 5 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K, 68 Pitches."
The Dodgers jumped to a 4-0 lead early against ace Cristopher Sanchez after a first-inning Shohei Ohtani single, Alex Call's fifth homer, and Enrique Hernandez's ninth homer and subsequent sac fly. Tommy Edman and Andy Pages added hits to set up Hernandez's sac fly in the fourth. Shohei Ohtani dominated on the mound, tossing five scoreless innings with one walk and five strikeouts on 68 pitches. Manager Dave Roberts removed Ohtani at his innings limit despite the no-hit performance. The bullpen surrendered five runs in five straight batters, erased the lead, allowed a comeback tie, then blew the game in a 9-6 loss.
