Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani went hitless in Monday's game, drawing two walks and reaching base once via catcher's interference, as his team fell to the Chicago White Sox 6-4 on the road.
The Dodgers held a 1-0 lead after Freddie Freeman hit a solo home run in the third inning. However, the game turned dramatically in the sixth inning when the White Sox exploded for six runs. The rally began with a solo home run by Sam Antonacci, followed by a single from Miguel Vargas and a go-ahead double by Andrew Benintendi, chasing Dodgers pitcher Emmet Sheehan.
Relief pitcher Jack Dreyer could not stop the bleeding for the Dodgers. White Sox prospects Colson Montgomery and Chase Meidroth then hit back-to-back two-run home runs, extending the White Sox's lead and sealing the Dodgers' fate. This marked the third home run of the inning for the White Sox.
Despite a comeback attempt by the Dodgers, including a sacrifice fly from Alex Freeland in the seventh and a solo homer by Mookie Betts in the eighth, they could not overcome the deficit. Freeland hit another crucial double in the ninth to bring the Dodgers closer, and Ohtani drew a walk to put runners on first and second. However, the team failed to deliver a timely hit, ultimately losing the series 2-1.
Ohtani's performance included two walks and two strikeouts in his two at-bats, ending his six-game hitting streak. His batting average now stands at .302 with an OPS of .975. Sheehan took the loss, his fourth of the season, while White Sox pitcher Erick Fedde earned his second win.
