Shohei Ohtani zeroes in on great pitching season, too

On a damp night at Dodger Stadium, Shohei Ohtani stifled the Guardians, throwing six scoreless innings with one hit and six strikeouts, guiding the Dodgers to a 4-1 win that felt tighter than the score. He also walked twice and singled. Andy Pages’ two-out RBI single in the fourth marked the Dodgers’ first time scoring first this season, and Max Muncy added a sixth-inning solo shot before late insurance in the eighth. Los Angeles improved to 4-1, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto slated to start Wednesday.
