In a dominant performance, Shohei Ohtani led the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 8-2 victory over the New York Mets, extending the Mets' losing streak to eight games. Ohtani, who pitched six innings, struck out 10 batters and allowed just one run, marking his continued excellence on the mound. The Dodgers' offense was powered by significant contributions, including a two-run home run from Hyeseong Kim in the second inning and a grand slam from Dalton Rushing in the eighth inning. Despite his stellar pitching, Ohtani was not in the batting lineup due to a precautionary rest after being hit by a pitch earlier in the week. The game coincided with Jackie Robinson Day, a significant date in baseball history that celebrates the breaking of the color barrier by Robinson. The Mets struggled throughout the game, managing only two runs, with MJ Melendez's double in the fifth inning breaking Ohtani's scoreless innings streak.
