Ohtani skips the bat, keeps the heat: 10 strikeouts as Dodgers send Mets to a 8th straight loss

Shohei Ohtani pitched six strong innings, striking out 10, as the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the New York Mets 8-2. It was New York's eighth straight loss. Ohtani allowed his first earned run since Aug. 27, ending a 33-inning streak. He wasn't in the batting lineup due to soreness from being hit by a pitch Monday. The Dodgers swept the Mets at home for the first time since 2017. Dalton Rushing hit his first career grand slam in the eighth. Hyeseong Kim, Teoscar Hernández and Kyle Tucker also homered to lead the Dodgers' 12-hit attack. The Dodgers improved to 18-4 on Jackie Robinson Day.
