Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers contributed to the teams victory in the Major League game against the Diamondbacks on the 11th, recording two hits including a timely hit and one RBI.

On the 11th, which was Mothers Day locally, Ohtani posted a photo on his Instagram before the game, showing himself, his wife Mamiko, and their newborn daughter holding hands, expressing his gratitude.

In this game, the players, umpires, and staff wore special pink gear, and Ohtani started as the leadoff designated hitter, using a pink bat and wearing a pink belt.

Shohei Ohtani, who has been in good form with hits in eight consecutive games so far, grounded out to first on a low changeup in his first at-bat right after the play ball in the first inning, and in his second at-bat in the third inning, he was struck out swinging on a big breaking knuckle curve.

In the fifth inning with a one-run lead, he came up as the leadoff batter for his third at-bat, connected with an outside changeup, and hit it to center field, extending his hitting streak to nine games.

With Betts’ double, Ohtani advanced to third base, and then scored an additional run on Freeman’s sacrifice fly as the Dodgers added two more runs in this inning.

In the sixth inning, Ohtani came up for his fourth at-bat with two outs and a runner on third. He pulled a high curveball, and the exit velocity was 178.

He hit a sharp liner to right field for a 6-kilogram hit, making it two consecutive hits at bat, and drove in an additional run with a timely hit.

After that, Ohtani, who remained on first base, was picked off by the opposing pitcher and was tagged out at second base, resulting in a failed stolen base attempt.

In his fifth at-bat in the ninth inning, Ohtani hit a low outside slider, resulting in a grounder to first. He showed off his speed, but was narrowly thrown out.

Shohei Ohtani had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 RBI, raising his batting average to .308, and the Dodgers won 8-1.

The Dodgers finished their 10-game road trip, which began on the 2nd of this month, with 6 wins and 4 losses. After a travel day, they will play a three-game series against the Athletics at their home stadium, Dodger Stadium, starting on the 13th.
