Shohei Ohtani Roughed Up, Escapes Scare in Dodgers’ Loss

Ohtani gave up five runs and nine hits in four innings at Coors Field before taking a 93 mph liner off his thigh. “I’m glad it didn’t hit the knee… we avoided the worst-case scenario,” he said. "I was very relieved," said Dave Roberts. Ohtani is batting .284 with 44 homers, one behind NL-leading Kyle Schwarber, with 83 RBIs.
