Ohtani opened the day by allowing a single to Astros third baseman Isaac Parades, but that hit was erased by a double play ball off the bat of Cam Smith. Jose Altuve ground out to end the first inning. The second frame was much more dominant, as all three Astros batter struck out swinging on breaking balls from Ohtani.

Shohei Ohtani made his fourth start of the season as a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, this time against the Houston Astros, and the third time at Dodger Stadium.
