LOS ANGELES \u2013 Shohei Ohtani<\/a> tossed four-hit ball over seven shutout innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers backed the four-time MVP with his most run support of the season in a 4-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers snapped their season-high skid at four games on a night when Ohtani only pitched and wasn’t in the lineup as the designated hitter for the fourth time this season. The two-way superstar also won’t be in the lineup Thursday to give him two days’ rest from hitting.<\/p>\n

Ohtani (3-2) struck out eight and walked two in his second consecutive seven-inning start \u2014 his first as a Dodger and first since May 2023 with the Los Angeles Angels. He lowered his ERA to 0.82 pitching with a picture of his beloved dog Decoy on the tongue of his right cleat.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers have scored more than four runs in Ohtani’s seven starts just once and the team is 3-4 in his starts overall. They had six hits or less in five of their previous seven games.<\/p>\n

Leading 4-0, Ohtani gave up back-to-back singles to Willy Adames and Matt Chapman with one out in the seventh. Drew Gilbert flied into a double play to center. Adames was all the way around third base by the time he knew he was in trouble and got doubled off second to end the inning.<\/p>\n

Santiago Espinal and Mookie Betts homered back-to-back in the third, giving the Dodgers a 2-0 lead. Espinal went deep for the first time as a Dodger and Betts’ first since coming off the injured list earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers extended their lead to 4-0 on Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez’s RBI single and Alex Call’s sacrifice fly in the fourth.<\/p>\n

The Giants’ three-game winning streak ended. Robbie Ray (3-5) gave up four runs and seven hits in 4 2\/3 innings, struck out two and walked two.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Giants RHP Landen Roupp (5-3, 3.09 ERA) was scheduled to start Thursday against RHP Emmet Sheehan (2-1, 4.79) in the series finale.<\/p>\n
