Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (31) will start as “No. 1 DH” in the game against the Cubs at home on the 25th (26th Japan time). On the previous day, the 24th (25th), he had three strikeouts for the first time this season, resulting in three consecutive no-hitter games. This is the longest consecutive no-hitter in 51 at-bats since his transfer to the German Army, and expectations are high for his first good performance in a while. Before the game, Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (27) was seen talking with Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga (32). After pitching 31 pitches, including 12 from the set position in the bullpen, he chatted with Suzuki near center field for about 3 or 4 minutes, and with Imanaga for nearly 10 minutes near right field, showing each other their pitching forms.
