Ohtani says knee felt good after recent bullpen session, powers Dodgers with 2 homers in 11-5 win
DENVER (AP) — Maybe just as encouraging for the Los Angeles Dodgers as their bats finally waking up Monday…
Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani expressed satisfaction with his knee after a recent bullpen session, contributing to the team's recent offensive resurgence. The 11-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies highlighted Ohtani's performance, which included two home runs and a 4-for-5 batting average. Ohtani, who had not pitched since July 3 due to left knee irritation, may be on the mend as he prepares for another bullpen session on Tuesday.
The designated hitter, who has hit safely in 21 straight games at Coors Field, has now hit nine home runs in this streak, adding 24 RBIs. Team manager Dave Roberts praised the collective effort, marking a notable improvement following a string of losses.
