Ohtani started as the No. 1 designated hitter in an away game against the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2024 Major League Baseball at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri on the 17th (Korea Standard Time) and remained silent with no hits in five at-bats.

Ohtani’s batting average for this season fell further to 292 from the previous 294. The Dodgers won the game 7-6.

On this day, the Dodgers set up batting order in the order of Shohei Ohtani (designated hitter), Mookie Betts (right fielder), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Teoscar Hernandez (left fielder), Gavin Lux (second baseman), Will Smith (catcher), Miguel Rojas (striker), Cavin Keermeier (midfielder), and Kique Hernandez (third baseman).

Ohtani struck out swinging at his first at-bat in the first inning. In the second at-bat in the second inning when his team started leading 2-0, Ohtani was caught hitting a straight line at second base with two outs and a runner on second base.

After his team came from behind to lose 2-3, Ohtani only hit a fly ball to the left field with two outs and no runners at the third batter’s box in the fifth inning. In the sixth inning when Dodgers’ lineup exploded, Ohtani hit a sinker on the fifth pitch of Matthew Liberatore, and grounded out in front of shortstop.

Ohtani struck out swinging in the ninth inning with one out and no runner with his team leading by one point. Ohtani was silent, but the Dodgers won as Freeman, Lux, Rojas, and Kiermaier, as well as other MVP teammates Betts, boasted good batting performance.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers scored two runs first in the second inning with Lux’s solo home run, Rojas’ double and Kiermaier’s timely hit, but quickly allowed the tie.

Justin Roblesky, the starting pitcher, gave up a walk to Arenado, the first batter, in the bottom of the second inning, and Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer over the right fence. In the bottom of the third inning, he allowed Maisin Win to throw a solo shot to the left.토토사이트 순위
