Shohei Ohtani allows his first baserunner of the night on his 60th pitch, a double by Gabriel Moreno. It ends his hitles

What happened: Shohei Ohtani surrendered his first baserunner of the night on his 60th pitch, a double off the bat of Gabriel Moreno. The hit snapped a hitless skein that had stretched 9.2 innings across his last two starts. Up to that point Ohtani had not allowed a hit on the mound.

Why it matters: The two-way star has been overpowering as a pitcher, and stringing together near-ten innings of hitless work underscores how sharp his arm has looked deep into the season. A single double does little to dent a dominant stretch, but it ends a run that had been building across multiple outings.

By the numbers: Ohtani carried a 0.74 ERA after 10 starts entering this outing, with one of his recent lines reading 6 innings, 2 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk and 8 strikeouts. The hitless skein reached 9.2 innings over his previous two starts before Moreno's double.

What to watch: Watch whether Ohtani settles back in after the double and how deep he works into this start, along with his next turn in the rotation.
