Giants Blank Dodgers 3-0 as Ohtani’s 53-Game On-Base Streak Ends

The result throws a spotlight on Dave Roberts weighing lighter hitting duty for Ohtani on pitching days.

Overview

  • Patrick Bailey’s three-run homer off Jack Dreyer in the seventh lifted San Francisco to a 3-0 win Wednesday, handing Los Angeles its fourth loss in five games.
  • Shohei Ohtani fired six scoreless frames with seven strikeouts and no walks, dropping his ERA to 0.38 across four starts.
  • At the plate, Ohtani went 0-for-4, snapping his 53-game on-base streak that tied Shawn Green and sat five shy of Duke Snider’s franchise record.
  • Giants starter Tyler Mahle logged seven shutout innings for his first win with the club as the Dodgers were blanked for the first time this season.
  • Manager Dave Roberts said he may hold Ohtani out of the batting lineup on some pitching days to keep him fresh, and the Dodgers turn to Tyler Glasnow on Thursday to avoid a sweep.
