Shohei Ohtani leaves Dodgers game vs. Pirates in 7th inning with left knee inflammation
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning of Thursday night's game against Pittsburgh due to left knee inflammation.
The reigning NL MVP hit his 13th homer of the season, a solo shot, in the third inning. He also had a single and walked twice, reaching base in all four of his at-bats.
It was not immediately clear when Ohtani began feeling discomfort in the knee.
