Shohei Ohtani Starts 2026 With a Hit, but Dodgers Leave Him Stranded

Ohtani opened his 2026 season with a leadoff single to right, but Los Angeles could not cash in against Arizona.

The Dodgers got traffic immediately, yet the Diamondbacks escaped without allowing the game’s first run in the opening frame.
