Ohtani’s RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning gave the Dodgers the win over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.
It was Shohei Ohtani weekend in Los Angeles.
They lined up hours in advance to get his first bobblehead as a Dodger on Thursday. The LA City Council proclaimed May 17 ‘Shohei Ohtani Day’ in Los Angeles. And on Sunday, Ohtani capped it off with his first walkoff hit as a Dodger, driving in the winning run in the 10th inning of a 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Ohtani’s RBI single secured the Dodgers’ 20th win in their past 26 games. It featured more stellar work from a shuffled and reconstituted bullpen. Four relievers — including journeyman left-hander Anthony Banda freshly added to the roster — combined to hold the Reds to one run on two hits over the last 5 1/3 innings.
A month into his big-league career, Andy Pages has experienced a number of firsts – including his first slump.
