Dodgers Make Shohei Ohtani Announcement After Padres Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers have continued to assert their dominance in the NL West, sitting atop the division with a 46-29 record that has expanded their lead to 4.5 games over the San Francisco Giants (41-33) and the San Diego Padres (39-34).

Ohtani’s 28-pitch inning Monday was his first in a major-league game in nearly two years. All signs point to him pitching again on Sunday against the Nationals.

Shohei Ohtani gave up an early run in his pitching debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but quickly made up for it at the plate with two clutch hits and a pair of RBIs in a 6-3 victory over the San Diego Padres.
