NEW YORK — Wherever Shohei Ohtani goes, a microscope follows.
This week, the well-paid traveling circus known as the Los Angeles Dodgers rolled into Queens on a five-game losing streak for a series against the rapidly disintegrating New York Mets. Three games against the Big Apple’s favorite blue and orange calamity turned out to be the perfect panacea for the Dodgers, who left town with a sweep after Wednesday's 10-3 victory.
Despite the team’s bounceback, Ohtani looked sluggish for most of the series, extending a cold stretch for the All-World slugger.
