Recap
Ohtani dealing on the mound against his former NPB rival Sugano while Kyle Hurt—a guy most fans couldn't pick out of a lineup two weeks ago—locks down the save is exactly the kind of weird, beautiful baseball moment that makes this season feel like a fever dream in the best way. Shohei Ohtani earns the win with six solid innings, holding Colorado to one run while the Dodgers offense does just enough against former NPB rival Tomoyuki Sugano. The Dodgers scratch across four runs with timely hitting, and Kyle Hurt locks down the ninth for the save. Sugano takes the loss in a pitching duel that never got away from LA.
