The Dodgers lost a game Wednesday. But it could have been worse.They could have lost Shohei Ohtani.The final score was 8-3 in favor of the Colorado Rockies, although the game was far more one-sided than that.

Shohei Ohtani has never pitched out of the bullpen in his MLB career, but the Los Angeles Dodgers are keeping the option open for the postseason.

Colorado ripped Ohtani for five consecutive hits in the fifth. Rookie Warming Bernabel — who’s hitting .311 since becoming the starting first baseman — doubled home a run, Arcia’s liner off Ohtani scored Mickey Moniak from third, and Tyler Freeman’s single scored Arcia to put the Rockies ahead 5-0.
