Ohtani Pitches Dodgers to 4-0 Shutout Victory Over Giants

The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 4-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants, ending their four-game losing streak. Shohei Ohtani (3-2) pitched 6.1 innings, surrendering four hits, two walks, and striking out eight batters. This outing marked his seventh consecutive quality start, and he remains the only Dodgers pitcher to complete at least six innings in every start this season. Ohtani threw a season-high 105 pitches, reducing his MLB-best ERA to 0.82.

Santiago Espinal opened the scoring in the bottom of the third inning with his first home run as a Dodger, a solo shot. Mookie Betts followed immediately with a 414-foot solo home run, his first since returning from the injured list, extending the lead to 2-0. In the fourth inning, Teoscar Hernández drove in Kyle Tucker with an opposite-field single, and Alex Call's sacrifice fly scored Hernández, bringing the score to 4-0.

Giants starter Robbie Ray (3-5) took the loss, pitching 4.2 innings, allowing seven hits, four earned runs, and two walks, while striking out two. Kyle Tucker contributed with two doubles. Tanner Scott pitched a scoreless eighth inning, and Kyle Hurt closed out the ninth, preserving the shutout.
