LA Dodgers’ ‘superstar’ Shohei Ohtani went silent with no hits.
Ohtani started as the number 2 designated hitter in the 2024 Major League Baseball game against the St. Louis Cardinals held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, USA on the 30th (Korean time) and went 0-hit in 4 at-bats.
Otani, who has recently been suspected of illegal gambling involving an interpreter, performed consistently with 2 hits and 1 walk in 3 at-bats in the opening game on the U.S. mainland the day before.
However, in the game on this day, he resigned with a bad hit in all four at-bats and swallowed his disappointment. His season batting average was 0.294 (5 hits in 17 at-bats).
Ohtani was retired on an infield fly ball in his first at-bat in the first inning. In the third inning, with two outs and no runners, he only hit a fly ball to left field.
In the bottom of the 5th inning, in his third at-bat, he faced a chance to hit 1st and 2nd base with no outs, but he hit a ground ball to the 2nd baseman, resulting in a double play.
In the bottom of the 7th inning, he walked away with a strikeout with two outs and no runners on base. Although Ohtani performed poorly, the Dodgers won 6-3. The Dodgers scored the winning run in the bottom of the first inning with Mookie Betts’ leadoff home run, and Teoscar Hernández hit two home runs. Starting pitcher Bobby Miller also tied up the opposing batting lineup with a pitching pitch of 6 innings, allowing 2 hits, 1 walk, 11 strikeouts, and no runs. The Dodgers, who won two games in a row, have a season record of 3 wins and 1 loss. St. Louis suffered two consecutive losses. 성인웹툰
