Ohtani Extends Streaks in Dodgers' 3–1 Loss as NL West Magic Number Holds at 3

His start on Sept. 23 at Arizona could seal the division.

Overview

  • Shohei Ohtani singled in the sixth inning to reach a nine-game hitting streak and 26 straight games reaching base.
  • He went 1-for-4 without a homer, staying at 53 and remaining tied with Kyle Schwarber for the National League lead, one shy of his career high of 54.
  • Los Angeles led 1–0 through seven before the Giants scored three in the eighth off the bullpen, including a bases-loaded walk by reliever Treinen.
  • The defeat ended the Dodgers' four-game winning streak and kept their NL West magic number at 3 with six regular-season games remaining.
  • Ohtani is slated to pitch on Sept. 23 at the Diamondbacks to open a six-game road trip, with a clinch possible and the club already assured of a postseason berth.
