In the 2024 Major League Baseball game against the Texas Rangers held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 14th (Korea time), Ohtani started the game as the second designated hitter and recorded one hit in four times at bat with no strikeouts. As a result, Ohtani’s batting average for this season fell to 0.306. The streak of consecutive hits stopped at 4.
Ohtani’s first at bat was regrettable. With one out in the bottom of the first inning, he hit Lorenzen’s second pitch of 85.8 miles changeup, but he grounded out to the second base. 동행복권파워볼
The Dodgers immediately changed pitchers. The Globe finished pitching at the end of the first inning, and Ryan Yarbrough took charge of the mound starting from the second inning. He allowed consecutive walks with one out and the second base in the third inning, facing a crisis with the bases loaded. Then, he gave up another timely hit to Langford. The score was 3-0.
Ohtani’s second at-bat came. Coming up with two outs and a runner on first base in the bottom of the third inning, Ohtani hit a 95.2 mile sinker for the sixth pitch with a 2-2 ball count, but was out after hitting a fly ball to the left field.
Otina remained silent. Entering the batter’s box with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning when her team was still losing 0-3, Ohtani hit the 91.1 mile cutter on Lorenzen’s second pitch, but faced the second base again this time. The Dodgers started chasing after him. With one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, Hazel hit a solo home run, breaking the 0-point balance.
However, Ohtani ultimately failed to garner a hit. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Bizio’s hit by a pitch and a Barnes hit made it to the first and third bases with no outs. Betts struck out, and Ohtani stepped out with runners on the first and third bases with two outs. When meeting with changed pitcher David Robertson, Ohtani watched the first pitch strike and fouled the second pitch. He was hit by an 87.5 mile knuckle curve on the third pitch. He struck out three pitches.
