Shohei Ohtani Earns First Dodgers Win with Strong Pitching Performance

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani secured his first win as a Dodger, delivering a season-high five innings of one-run baseball against the Cincinnati Reds. The two-way player struck out nine batters on 87 pitches while also contributing offensively with a hit and a run scored. Ohtani is still working back from elbow surgery that sidelined him from pitching in 2024, and this marked his first five-inning start of the season.
