Dodgers’ Ohtani roughed up by Rockies, leaves game after getting hit on right thigh by line drive
August 20, 2025
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani had a forgettable outing in his first career pitching start against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Ohtani left Wednesday’s game after giving up five earned runs and nine hits in four innings and batting in the fifth. Ohtani got hit by a 93-mph line drive off the bat of Colorado’s Orlando Arciao on his right leg in the fourth that caused him to limp and grimace in pain. After a mound visit from manager Dave Roberts and team medical personnel, Ohtani stayed in the game and got the last two outs of the inning. Roberts said Ohtani got hit on the thigh. The Rockies beat the Dodgers 8-3.
