"Ohtani was originally scheduled to pitch Wednesday but did not do so because of feeling under the weather. The Dodgers initially planned on Ohtani starting at some point this weekend before settling on delaying him until their home series against the Colorado Rockies. But Glasnow's injury required another pivot, and Ohtani responded with a scoreless effort. Some of that was thanks to Anthony Banda stranding the runner he inherited at third base with two outs in the fourth inning."
"Perhaps sensing he was facing his final batter, Ohtani threw four fastballs of at least 100.2 mph to Emmanuel Rivera. Included in that was Ohtani's hardest pitch of the night, a 101.5 mph four-seam fastball. Baltimore took a 1-0 lead in the fifth inning when Gunnar Henderson stole third base and kept running on a Ben Casparius wild pitch. Jack Dreyer, Blake Treinen and Michael Kopech each kept the game knotted in a tie,"
The Los Angeles Dodgers fell 2-1 to the Baltimore Orioles on a walk-off home run, extending the Dodgers' losing streak to four games while the Orioles won their fourth straight. Shohei Ohtani made an unexpected start after Tyler Glasnow was scratched with back tightness and delivered a scoreless outing. Ohtani threw 70 pitches, allowed three hits, struck out five and walked one, and reached 101.5 mph on a four-seam fastball. Baltimore scored when Gunnar Henderson advanced on a Ben Casparius wild pitch. Relievers Jack Dreyer, Blake Treinen and Michael Kopech held the tie until Tanner Scott surrendered Samuel Basallo's ninth-inning walk-off. The Dodgers' offense was held scoreless until the sixth inning, with deep flyouts by Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman caught at the wall.
