ドジャース 大谷おおたに翔平しょうへいがレイズ戦せんで2安打あんだ 複数ふくすう安打あんだは4試合しあいぶり

Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers in Major League Baseball hit two singles in the game against the Rays, recording multiple hits for the first time in four games.

The Dodgers, who had a losing record of 10 wins and 14 losses in July, played the first game of a three-game series against the Rays on the 1st at the opponents home ground in Tampa, Florida.

The Rays home stadium roof was damaged by last years hurricane, so this season they are using the Yankees spring training stadium, which is about a 30-minute drive away.

Shohei Ohtani has a batting average of .354 against the Rays, making them a favorable opponent for him. Batting second as the designated hitter, he reached base with a walk in his first at-bat in the first inning.

After this, No. 3 batter Smith and No. 4 batter Freeman hit back-to-back doubles, and Ohtani scored, giving the Dodgers an early 2-0 lead.

In his second at-bat in the third inning, when he hit a high changeup on the outside, his bat broke and the ball became a slow grounder to second base. However, since the broken bat also flew toward second, the fielder couldn’t charge forward, resulting in an infield hit. With this, Ohtani recorded his first hit in three games.

In the fourth inning, rookie No. 9 hitter Freeland hit a timely single to record his first Major League RBI, and the Dodgers added two more runs to widen their lead. With two outs and a runner on first, Ohtani came up for his third at-bat.

Shohei Ohtani hit the fourth pitch, an off-speed ball on the outside, to right field for a single, extending the opportunity with hits in two consecutive at-bats.

After that, although he struck out in both his fourth at-bat in the sixth inning and his fifth at-bat in the ninth inning, he finished the game with 2 hits in 4 at-bats and 1 walk.

Ohtani had multiple hits for the first time in four games, raising his batting average to .271.

The Dodgers won 5-0 and took the first game of the three-game series.
