The Los Angeles Dodgers started their four-game set against the San Diego Padres with the excitement of Shohei Ohtani making his Dodgers pitching debut.
After 22 months away from pitching, Ohtani tossed 28 pitches from the mound, allowing a run and two hits while finishing the day with a pair of RBIs at the plate and two hits of his own. The unreal talent of the two-way superstar was on full display at Dodger Stadium, but as the season marches on, the question remains when the three-time MVP will return.
