Dave Roberts Had Shohei Ohtani Message After Dodgers’ Third Straight Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Los Angeles Angels scored four runs off Shohei Ohtani to help complete a sweep, while knocking the Los Angeles Dodgers out of first place in the NL West.

Shohei Ohtani lined into a triple play in the sixth inning and hit a tiebreaking homer in the ninth, but the Los Angeles Angels rallied for a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Jo Adell’s walkoff single in the 10th inning.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are not willing to jeopardize Shohei Ohtani's health to squeeze a few more innings out of his right arm.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani makes MLB history once again, accomplishing a feat that has not been done in 125 years.

Shohei Ohtani’s return to the mound at Angel Stadium wasn’t just another start on the calendar — it was a collision of past and present, played out under the familiar orange glow of a Southern California summer night.

WHEN SUMMER ARRIVED and his pitching progression intensified, Shohei Ohtani essentially stopped running. In an attempt to preserve his body for the added stress it was about to endure, Ohtani stole just two bases throughout June and July.

Taking over for Ohtani was the bullpen trio of Anthony Banda, Justin Wrobleski and Edgardo Henriquez, who combined to allow three hits, four walks and two earned runs in 3 2/3 innings to surrender the lead to the Angels.

Shohei Ohtani is normally used to hitting long home runs, but the MLB star found himself in a weird position against the Los Angeles Angels.

Shohei Ohtani yielded four runs on five hits while pitching a season-high 4 1/3 innings, but Logan O'Hoppe delivered a two-run single in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Angels swept the season Freeway Series with a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is on the verge of passing Roger Maris, and not too far behind Alex Rodriguez and Babe Ruth, for a two-season home run record.
