After the 1-2-3 first, the Toronto Blue Jays rookie found himself in trouble in the second inning. He walked Will Smith, allowed a single to Max Muncy, before Kike Hernandez hit an RBI single to center field. However, the condition could have been much worse had Andy Pages or Ohtani capitalized on RBI opportunities with bases loaded.
His command was awful even in the third inning as the Dodgers drove in another run, thanks to Smith’s RBI single to right field. In the fourth inning, he registered a quick inning, including two strikeouts against Tommy Edman and Hernandez.
Overall, he pitched 4.0 innings, giving up two earned runs on four hits, walking three, and striking out five.
