Ohtani went one inning as he continues to build back up. The 18-pitch performance featured 12 strikes, no earned runs and no hits.

The right-hander threw his first strikeout as a Dodger against Luis Garcia Jr. Ohtani’s second start on the mound was much sharper than his first, and he would’ve retired the side in order had Mookie Betts not dropped a pop-up because of the sun.
