Shohei Ohtani's second outing as a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers was nearly flawless, throwing just 18 pitches, with 12 strikes, and striking out two batters while allowing no runs or hits against the Washington Nationals. Rookie catcher Dalton Rushing praised Ohtani's explosive velocity and his independence in calling pitches during the game. Beyond his pitching prowess, Ohtani also shined at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a home run, triple, and a whopping five RBIs, contributing significantly to the Dodgers' 13-7 victory.
