The Los Angeles Dodgers’<\/a> bullpen spoils another classic outing from Shohei Ohtani<\/a>. Ohtani shut out the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a>, withdrawing from the game with 6.0 IP, 8 SO, 0 BB, 5 H, and 0 ER. Six scoreless innings and a four-run lead proved to be not enough for the bullpen to put the game away. The Diamondbacks jumped the bullpen as soon as Ohtani was pulled, erasing the four-run deficit with ease.<\/p>\n Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a> put the Dodgers on the board first with a solo shot to center field in the second inning. After receiving early run support, Ohatni did his part on the mound. He kept the Diamonbacks quiet for six innings, only giving up five hits. The Diamondback lineup had no answer for him and looked overmatched in key moments.<\/p>\n In the top half of the sixth, Hernandez struck again, adding some run insurance with a triple that drove in Freddie Freeman<\/a> and Shohei Ohtani.<\/p>\n Ben Rortvedt<\/a> belted his first homer in Dodger blue to extend the lead to four in the seventh.<\/p>\n In the bottom of the seventh, the Diamondbacks immediately took advantage of Ohtani’s exit.\u00a0James McCann<\/a> faced\u00a0Jack Dreyer<\/a> and notched a two-out double, scoring Ildemaro Vargas<\/a>.<\/p>\n With two outs and a runner on second, the Diamondbacks pinch-hit righty Jordan Lawlar<\/a> for lefty Jake McCarthy<\/a>. Dave Roberts<\/a> decided to combat this move by replacing Jack Dreyer<\/a> with Edgardo Henriquez<\/a>. In a two-for-one move, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo<\/a> pinch-hit Adrian Del Castillo<\/a> for Lawlar. Castillo hit a two-run homer to right field, bringing the game within one.<\/p>\n In the bottom of the ninth, Tanner Scott’s<\/a> number was called again in a save situation. He hit the first batter he faced and walked the next, and a sacrifice bunt advanced the runner to third. A sacrifice fly from Jorge Barrosa<\/a> plated the game-tying run.<\/p>\n Geraldo Perdomo<\/a> singled to shallow left and scored Tim Tawa<\/a> for a walkoff.<\/p>\n Shohei Ohtani once again displayed why he is a force on the mound. He threw six shutout innings, allowing only five hits. He kept Arizona’s lineup off balance all game, not even allowing a single walk. Even with runners on, Ohtani remained composed and delivered when the moment called for it. In his final start of the season, he finishes with a 2.87 ERA and a 0.46 ERA over his last four starts.<\/p>\nDodgers – Diamondbacks Game Summary<\/h2>\n
