Ohtani allowed no runs on five hits with eight strikeouts. The right-hander left the game with a 4-0 lead, but the Dodgers bullpen blew the lead. The Diamondbacks took the series opener with a walk-off 5-4 victory.
Nevertheless, Ohtani going six innings for the first time this season was an encouraging indication ahead of the postseason.
