Miller lasts just two innings, but six Dodgers relievers follow with seven scoreless innings and Shohei Ohtani drives in two runs in a 4-3 victory over the White Sox.
Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani hits a solo home run during the first inning of their game against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night in Chicago. Ohtani also drove in a go-ahead run with an RBI single in the fourth in a 4-3 win. Pitching in his home state for the second time this season, Miller lasted just two innings and now has a 19.63 ERA in Illinois . But Shohei Ohtani’s hot streak apparently knows no borders.
After posting a 7.80 ERA with nearly as many walks as strikeouts in four minor-league rehab starts, Miller returned to the Dodgers’ rotation in Colorado last week and gave up three runs including a two-run home run in his first inning against the Rockies. He stuck around into the seventh but gave up two more runs before departing.
Miller gave up another hit and walked consecutive batters with two outs in the second inning, puffing up his pitch count to 60 and prompting Manager Dave Roberts to start the parade of relievers. The home run was Ohtani’s 24th of the season, the seventh in his past nine games and fourth in the past five. It was the second time he led off a game with a homer since replacing the injured Mookie Betts in the leadoff spot. And it was his ninth consecutive game with an RBI, tying a franchise record done most recently by Roy Campanella in 1955.
