Shohei Ohtani continued his multi-hit streak for four consecutive games, but failed to prevent his team LA Dodgers from losing. Ohtani was listed on the Dodgers starting lineup as the first designated hitter in an away game against the Colorado Rockies of the 2024 U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado on the 20th (Korea time).

Ohtani started to play foul in the top of the first inning. With the bases loaded with two outs, Ohtani hit right-handed starting pitcher Ryan Feltner’s fastball with three outs, and hit a three-run double that cut through the left-center field. Then he homered on Freddie Freeman’s timely hit to the right and scored a point.

Ohtani, who grounded out to the third base in the top of the fourth inning, completed multiple hits in the top of the sixth inning. With two outs and no runners, Ohtani hit five pitches from Nick Mears, the opponent team’s right-handed bullpen pitcher, to produce a right-handed hit. Then, in the top of the eighth inning, he struck out with three pitches from Colorado right-handed pitcher Jake Bird.

His final result was two hits and three RBIs from five times at bat, which enabled Ohtani to achieve multi hits in four consecutive games. His batting average for this season also edged up from 0.316 to 0.317.

In the meantime, despite Ohtani’s performance, the Dodgers lost to Colorado 6-7. In the bottom of the ninth inning, right-handed bullpen pitcher Johan Ramirez got a sacrifice fly to center field by Brenton Doyle. 토토사이트 추천
