Shohei Ohtani pitched three scoreless innings with four strikeouts in his first time pitching against the Giants as part of the rivalry. Including his time with the Los Angeles Angels, Ohtani has allowed one run in 15 career innings (0.60 ERA) against San Francisco.
The Dodgers have come to expect another side of Shohei Ohtani whenever their two-way superstar takes the mound.
The Los Angeles Dodgers star hit his first career splash hit at the San Francisco Giants' Oracle Park, smashing a first-pitch cutter from All-Star Logan Webb 410 feet to right field, with a 106-mph exit velocity. One of the kayakers in McCovey Cove leapt from his boat to secure the ball.
It marked the 65th home run into the water by an opponent in Oracle Park’s 25-year history and 171st in all — and 35 of those belong to home run king Barry Bonds.
