The Los Angeles Dodgers started their season (and Shohei Ohtani's Dodgers career) off with a win in Korea. Ohtani had two hits and an RBI
A crowd of 15,952 was on hand to watch at the Gocheok Sky Dome for Major League Baseball’s first game in South Korea.
The two-way star, limited to batting following elbow surgery, also had a mental error that caused the final out of the eighth. He was called out when he passed second base and then failed to retouch the bag while retreating on Freddie Freeman’s flyout, causing an inning-ending double play. “It could have gone through innings before that. It just happened at that situation and it sucks," Cronenworth said. “I thought it was an easy double play.”“That's a tough error for Cro,” Roberts said. “Fortunate break for us. You got to take them when you can get them.”Betts, Ohtani and Freeman became the first MVPs to hit 1-2-3 in a batting order since Philadelphia’s Joe Morgan, Pete Rose and Mike Schmidt during 10 games in 1993.
Jason Heyward had a sacrifice fly in the fourth, and San Diego went back ahead in the bottom half when Campusano hit a run-scoring double-play grounder.
