Ohtani started as the first designated hitter in the 2024 MLB game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado on the 20th, and played with two hits, three RBIs and one run in five times at bat.

He has multi hits in four consecutive games since the game against the Royals in Kansas City on last Thursday. Ohtani hit nine times at bat in four games.

Ohtani, who had been playing as the second batter all along, took charge of the first hitter from the game against Colorado on the 18th as the Dodgers' built-in first hitter Mookie Betts suffered a broken left hand.

In the three games in which he played as the first hitter after Betts' injury, he recorded 7 hits in 15 times at bat and a batting average of 0.467.

Ohtani's batting average for the season is 0.317, and his on-base plus slugging (OPS) is 0.996.

Ohtani, who stepped down on a foul fly to the third baseman in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning, fired a long hit in his second at-bat in the second inning.

The Dodgers had a chance to load the bases with one out in the top of the second inning with Gavin Lux's hit, Cavan Biggio's hit, and Enrique Hernandez's walk.

Entering the batter's box after Austin Barnes struck out swinging, Ohtani hit a double that completely penetrated the left-center field and brought all three runners home. The Dodgers managed to tie the game 3-3.

Ohtani also homered and scored a come-from-behind run on Freddie Freeman's hit to the right.

Ohtani grounded out to the third base in the top of the fourth inning, and garnered a hit to the right field with two outs and no runners in the top of the sixth inning. Freeman grounded out to the third base, so he couldn't advance any further.  안전 슬롯사이트
