Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (31) started as “No. 1/DH” in the game against the Giants on enemy territory on the 21st (22nd Japan time). In his fourth at-bat, he hit an infield hit to shortstop, marking a 53-game streak in which he reached base, tied for second on the team. In the 4th at-bat of the 7th inning, 1-3, with two out and runners on first base, he swung the sixth pitch from a full count against Miller, a left-handed pitcher, and hit a shortstop infield hit with tenacity, extending his number of consecutive games on base to 53.
