Shohei Ohtani's no-hitter through five innings for the Dodgers ended prematurely, as manager Dave Roberts opted to pull him to manage his workload post-Tommy John surgery. The decision backfired when the bullpen surrendered a four-run lead, resulting in a 9-6 loss to the Phillies. Roberts cited a cautious approach to Ohtani's innings pitched, prioritizing his health for the playoffs. Despite the loss, Ohtani expressed understanding and remained positive after hitting his 50th home run.
