The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Colorado Rockies, 8-3, on Wednesday, and fell to 72-55 on the year. The Dodgers’ National League West lead over the San Diego Padres dropped to one game.
Unfortunately, superstar Shohei Ohtani was not only roughed up on the mound — allowing nine hits which tied a career high and contributed to five earned runs — but was struck by a line drive on his thigh. He said after the game that his thigh feels “pretty good,” and his intention is to return Friday.
Before the game, the Dodgers sent down former All-Star pitcher Alexis Diaz.
