Summary

  • Shohei Ohtani left in the seventh inning of the Dodgers’ 8-6 win at Pittsburgh with left knee inflammation after reaching base four times and hitting a solo homer.
  • Dave Roberts called Ohtani’s exit precautionary, saying the discomfort was behind the knee and may have started on a fourth-inning steal attempt; the Dodgers will test him Friday before deciding on Chicago.
  • Justin Wrobleski also exited after a line drive struck his right leg, leaving him with a hamstring contusion after 4 2/3 innings; he and Roberts said it should not affect his next start.
  • Tanner Scott got the final 4 outs, including 3 strikeouts in the ninth, as Los Angeles secured its first series win at PNC Park since 2021.
