Dodgers miss Shohei Ohtnai’s bat, can’t get him off the hook for loss to Marlins
The Dodgers lost 2-1 to the Marlins despite a solid six-inning, two-run performance from Shohei Ohtani on the mound. Ohtani was left out of the batting order to manage his workload, and the team struggled offensively with just seven hits and eight runners left on base. Manager Dave Roberts defended the decision to rest Ohtani at the plate, saying the team should have won regardless.
