Shohei Ohtani Could Make First MLB Relief Appearance for Dodgers Late in World Series
Shohei Ohtani pursued six World Series records while facing strategic pitching and intentional walks in a 6-2 Dodgers loss with 52,552 fans watching at Dodger Stadium.
- On Tuesday, Shohei Ohtani started Game 4 as both DH and pitcher, becoming the first player to do so in World Series history before 52,552 fans at Chavez Ravine.
- Coming off a record nine-times-on-base performance in the Dodgers' 18-inning, 6-5 win, Shohei Ohtani had limited rest after getting to bed at 2 a.m., and team members noted the physical toll.
- In Game 4, Ohtani's final pitching line recorded six innings, six hits and four earned runs, and at the plate he went 0-for-3 after a first-inning walk that extended his on-base streak to 11.

- Against a 7-for-7 Ohtani entering Tuesday, Toronto prioritized avoidance and matchup tactics as John Schneider issued four intentional walks and Shane Bieber struck him out twice.
