Ohtani makes first pitching performance since 2023
Shohei Ohtani returns to the pitching mound for the first time in 22 months in the Los Angeles Dodgers' divisional clash against the San Diego Padres (RONALD MARTINEZ) Shohei Ohtani made a trouble-free return to the pitching mound after a near two-year absence on Monday in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 6-3 win over the San Diego Padres. The reigning National League Most Valuable Player had not pitched since August 2023 when he played for the Los Angeles Angels. Advertisement He tore elbow ligaments in his last pitching outing, which required surgery, although he was still able to bat after joining the Dodgers on a 10-year $700 million contract in December 2023. On Monday Ohtani pitched the first inning, taking to the field to a rousing ovation at Dodger Stadium before hurling 28 pitches, 16 of them strikes. Though Ohtani's command fluctuated, there were glimpses of his intimidating velocity, with one pitch topping 100 miles (160 km) per hour. "First of all I'm very grateful for all the staff members and people who supported me throughout the whole process," the 30-year-old from Japan said through an interpreter. Advertisement "I'm very grateful that I'm back here healthy and pitching again. "I was not quite happy with the results, but there was a lot that I was able to take away from today's game." Ohtani is widely regarded as a modern-day Babe Ruth, a rarity in baseball in that he combines elite hitting and pitching. Last year he became the first player in history to score 50 home runs and nab 50 stolen bases in a season -- a statistical feat once regarded as unthinkable -- before playing a key role in the Dodgers' World Series victory. Ohtani is well on the way to another stellar offensive season this year, scoring 25 home runs to date to help the Dodgers to the top of the National League West division. Advertisement Yet anticipation about when he may return to pitching has grown steadily, with Ohtani seen testing his throwing arm in recent practise sessions, before manager Dave Roberts confirmed Monday's start on Sunday. rcw/pst

(AP Photo/Kyusung Gong) LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani gave up an early run in his pitching debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but quickly made up for it at the plate with two clutch hits and a pair of RBIs in a 6-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Monday night. The two-way superstar averaged 96.8 mph on nine fastballs and threw 28 pitches in the first inning, 21 months after right elbow surgery. It was his first outing since August 2023 with the Angels. Advertisement Manny Machado's sacrifice fly against Ohtani drove in the Padres' first run. Ohtani's RBI double with two outs in the third tied the score at 1. He added another two-out hit, a run-scoring single during the Dodgers' five-run fourth, when they took a 6-2 lead. He also struck out twice and walked. Anthony Banda replaced Ohtani on the mound in the second, and Ben Casparius (5-1) got the win with 3 2/3 innings of relief. Padres starter Dylan Cease (2-6) retired his first six batters, including five straight strikeouts. Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman went down swinging in order in the first. Advertisement Cease gave up six runs and eight hits in five innings and struck out nine. San Diego took a 2-1 lead on Xander Bogaerts' RBI double in the fourth. The Dodgers got to Cease in the bottom of the inning. Max Muncy, Tommy Edman, Ohtani and Betts sprayed RBI singles to all parts of the field. Machado hit a leadoff homer in the sixth. Key moment Cease hit Andy Pages with a pitch with one out in the fourth. Pages stared at Cease, who tossed up his arms in an 'I didn't mean it' gesture, and Pages motioned with his right arm. The umpires moved in, with one of them standing in front of Cease on the mound. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts came on the field and Pages again stared at Cease while making his way to first base. Advertisement Key stat Ohtani became the third National League player since 1900 to start a game as a pitcher and serve as his team's leadoff hitter. He joined Jim Jones in 1901 and Alvin Dark in 1953, according to MLB Network. Up next Padres RHP Randy Vásquez (3-4, 3.57 ERA) starts Tuesday. The Dodgers are likely to go with a bullpen game. ___ AP MLB:

Top prospect Roman Anthony powers Red Sox past Mariners with 1st career home run in 1st game after Rafael Devers trade
Times are tumultuous for the Red Sox. But there was reason to celebrate on Monday in Boston. Top prospect Roman Anthony hit his first career home run. It helped spark a 2-0 victory for the Red Sox over the Seattle Mariners. Advertisement The win came in Boston's first game after the stunning trade of All-Star slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. Starting pitcher Lucas Giolito threw six shutout innings and was credited with the win. Red Sox brass addresses Devers trade before Monday's game Boston dealt Devers to the Giants on Sunday, sending the ninth-year Red Sox veteran across the country in a trade that sent shockwaves across MLB. Devers was the last remaining member of Boston's 2018 World Series championship team and appears to be on pace for his fifth straight All-Star appearance amid another standout season at the plate. Advertisement If he does make the All-Star Game, he'll do so as a Giant. The trade prompted hard questions for Red Sox executives Craig Breslow and Sam Kennedy about the state of the organization prior to Monday's game. Once their media availability was over, it was time to get down to baseball. And for a night at least, baseball for Boston was a success, thanks in part to the No. 1 prospect. Anthony came to the plate with the bases empty in the top of the first inning. On a 2-2 count, Mariners starter Logan Gilbert threw a 96 mph fastball to the upper outside corner of the strike zone. Anthony reached across the plate and pulled a deep fly ball that carried over the right-center-field wall. Advertisement The home run was the first of Anthony's MLB career in his seventh game since Boston called him up for his big-league debut on June 9. It gave the Red Sox a 1-0 lead that they never relinquished. The Red Sox had won five straight games since Anthony's call-up, including a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees, before trading Devers. Monday marked their sixth straight victory, and they improved to 38-36. Questions will continue to swirl around why Boston chose to deal Devers as its season was starting to point up. But Red Sox fans can at least look forward to watching Anthony for the foreseeable future.
