Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani delivered a two-way performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates, pitching into the seventh inning while allowing four runs and contributing a two-run home run — his 12th of the season — at the plate. Despite Ohtani's highlights in both roles, the Dodgers were unable to hold on, suffering a come-from-behind defeat. The result is a setback for Los Angeles as Ohtani continues his rare dual role as both a starting pitcher and everyday hitter, a combination that has made him one of baseball's most closely watched players.
