Shohei Ohtani struck out 12 batters, gave up just one run and five hits, but the Angels' bats did not offer support in the 2-0 loss to the Dodgers.
In relying heavily on his fastball while also mixing in a lot of his cutter — really more of a vertical slider for him — Ohtani held the the Dodgers to one run, striking out 12. The two-way star ultimately was the losing pitcher, neither receiving nor contributing run support in theOhtani always has a game plan, though it can shift based on tendencies of each batter.
“Feel really good from the bullpen today and I was able to transition that to the game,” he added. “And it’s hard to explain in words, but like I said, I felt good today. So I need to continue that going forward.” Ohtani started the season on the mound as strong as he had in finishing 2022. He had a series of games in which he walked leadoff batters. But his first five starts, which he pitched to a thin 0.64 ERA, were always his to dominate. Then there was a rut when he had a 4.88 ERA over eight starts.
He started to pitch better in Texas during the Angels’ recent road series against the Rangers, a quality start that resulted in a win.
