Ohtani hits his 46th home run, gets closer to 50/50 milestone.
Dodgers pitcher Jack Flaherty throws against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the third inning during a baseball game, Monday, Sept. 2, 2024, in Phoenix. LOS ANGELES – His stay with the Dodgers has been brief, barely a month. But right-hander Jack Flaherty has quickly become a solid member of an injury-plagued rotation. In six starts with the Dodgers, he had gone 4-1 with a 3.18 ERA.
“He’s been great, it’s been huge,” Robert said of acquiring Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers. “In the sense of stabilizing the rotation when it hasn’t been so stable this season. Just being able to go out there, give us some length, get us to the sixth inning, and a touch into the seventh inning. I feel great with the way he prepares.”
The lack of pregame activity didn’t slow the Dodgers’ offense, which scored 12 runs over the weekend. The Dodgers have the sixth-best batting average in the majors .Ohtani gave the Dodgers their first hit when he landed a fly ball in center field in the third inning. Then in an occurrence rarer than Haley’s Comet, the Dodgers star was picked off by Guardians pitcher Tanner Bibee’s throw to first.
The Dodgers kept the rally going. With one out, they loaded the bases when Max Muncy, who walked, went to second on Smith’s hit and Edman walked. After a visit from the pitching coach, Bibee settled down and retired the next two batters to escape further damage.
