Shohei Ohtani went 2 for 5 in his Dodgers debut, capping a four-run eighth-inning rally with an RBI single
Los Angeles Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani during a game against the San Diego Padres, at the Gocheok Sky Dome, in Seoul, South Korea, on March 20.Shohei Ohtani’s RBI single capped a four-run eighth-inning rally in his Dodgers debut, and Los Angeles beat the San Diego Padres 5-2 in Wednesday night’s major league opener, the sport’s first game in South Korea.
The two-way star, limited to batting following elbow surgery, also had a mental error that caused the final out of the eighth. He was called out when he passed second base and then failed to retouch the bag while retreating on Freddie Freeman’s fly out, causing an inning-ending double play. “It could have gone through innings before that. It just happened at that situation and it sucks,” Cronenworth said. “I thought it was an easy double play.”“That’s a tough error for Cro,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “Fortunate break for us. You got to take them when you can get them.”Betts, Ohtani and Freeman became the first MVPs to hit 1-2-3 in a batting order since Philadelphia’s Joe Morgan, Pete Rose and Mike Schmidt during 10 games in 1993.
Jason Heyward had a sacrifice fly in the fourth, and San Diego went back ahead in the bottom half when Luis Campusano hit a run-scoring double-play grounder.
