ドジャース 大谷おおたに翔平しょうへい レッドソックス戦せん 2に安打あんだもチーム逆転ぎゃくてん負まけ

Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers played in the game against the Red Sox, hit two singles, and extended his hitting streak to eight games, but the team lost after giving up the lead.

The Dodgers played the final game of a three-game series against the Red Sox at their home stadium in Boston on the 27th, with Ohtani, who hit a home run in the previous game, starting as the second batter and designated hitter.

The starting pitcher for the Red Sox was Buehler, last year’s teammate who won the World Series, and after Ohtani drew a walk in his first at-bat, he came up for his second at-bat in the third inning with his team trailing by one run. With two outs and a runner on first, he didn’t miss a cutter that came over the plate and sent it to center field, extending his hitting streak to eight games and giving his team another chance.

After this, the team caught up to tie the score at 1-1.

After taking a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning, he came up for his third at-bat with two outs and a runner on first. He pulled a breaking ball low and outside to right field for his second consecutive hit, marking his first multi-hit game in seven games.

After that, the Dodgers, who fell behind 3-4, became the chasing side. In the 6th inning, with one out and a runner on second, Ohtani came up to bat but struck out swinging. In the 8th inning, with runners on first and second and no outs, he hit the ball hard but it was a fly out to left field.

Shohei Ohtani had two hits in four at-bats and drew one walk in this game.

The Dodgers lost the game 3-4, ending up with one win and two losses in the three-game series against the Red Sox.

On the other hand, Red Sox player Masataka Yoshida started as the designated hitter in the fifth spot, went hitless in three at-bats, and was substituted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning.

Ohtani to start against the Reds on the 30th; will pitch on Wednesdays for the time being. Ohtani is set to make his seventh start of the season in the game against the Reds in Cincinnati on Wednesday the 30th local time, and is expected to pitch a season-high four innings since his return.

It will be his first start in eight days since his last outing, and Dodgers manager Roberts emphasized before the game on the 27th that the following day, Thursday, there would be no game, allowing for rest.

Shohei Ohtani has gone 2-for-20 with a .100 batting average and one home run on the days following his pitching appearances so far, and some American media outlets have pointed out that the fatigue from pitching may be affecting his batting.

The Dodgers dont have games scheduled on Thursdays for the next two weeks either, so Manager Roberts said, Shohei will pitch on Wednesday next week as well and take Thursday off.

He said, From now on, thats likely to be the pattern, and indicated the plan to have him pitch on Wednesdays with six days of rest for the time being.

Manager Roberts said, Considering how much strain he is putting on his body, this decision is to ensure he can perform at his best.

I want to support Shohei so that he can be in the best possible condition, he explained.

Also, Ohtani has pitched as whats called an opener, throwing only a few innings, and after him, another starting pitcher known as the second starter would come in and pitch for a longer stretch.

Manager Roberts revealed that, since Ohtani will be pitching more innings, they will no longer prepare a second starter and instead have the relievers take the mound from now on.

The Dodgers are also close to having pitcher Snell, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, return from the injured list. According to Manager Roberts, after Snells return, instead of the typical five-man starting rotation used in the major leagues, they plan to use a six-man rotation that will include Ohtani as well.
