[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] Dodger Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani went out with a "two-handed pitching style" today, surrendering 6K scoreless pitches in 6 innings, as well as 3 hits in a single game, plus five hits. In the end, the Dodgers defeated the Diamondbacks 7-0 in the away game, and Ohtani won his 6th win of the season. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said in an interview after the game that they had a 7-run lead at the time, so there was no need to let Ohtani pitch the seventh inning.

Ohtani Shohei started 6 games in this game and pitched 89 scoreless balls, with an ERA of only 0.74. The number of innings he has pitched in 10 starts this season has reached 61. He is only one inning away from reaching the required number of innings and "landing" the ERA leader. But the Dodgers chose to let Ohtani retire after pitching 6 innings, with right-hander J. Hernandez (Jonathan Hernandez) taking over.

Robbers admitted frankly that he did consider letting Shohei Ohtani pitch another inning, but Alex Freeland hit a timely hit in the 7th inning to add 2 runs. "At that time, we had already warmed up J. Hernandez. With a 7-point lead, I didn't think it was necessary to let him continue to pitch in the 7th inning."

When asked if he would consider the number of pitching innings Shohei Ohtani needs to accumulate when competing for the Cy Young Award, Robles said, "Of course I will consider it. But first of all, I have to play the game well. I must prioritize the interests of the team and make arrangements that are most beneficial to the team. And the Cy Young Award will not be decided on June 3."
