not only celebrated embracing fatherhood with his wife, Mamiko Tanka, but also the victory of the Dodgers against the Pirates recently. The recent game against the
Pittsburgh Pirates
brought back the lost spark of the
Los Angeles Dodgers
during the ongoing 2025 MLB season as they led their way to dominating the Pirates with an overall score of 8-4.
During a post-game interview, the Dodgers' two-way superstar opened up on his miserable hitting slump against Paul Skenes and company and even admitted that he hasn't been playing well.
Shohei Ohtani admits to his poor form during the recent clash against the Pirates
With his tremendous athletic prowess and hard work, Dodgers' two-way star Shohei Ohtani is one of the biggest icons of the baseball world. Whenever the team of the Los Angeles Dodgers is playing, fans not only get enthralled by the electric environment in the stadium but also expect a series of home runs from the lord of the bat, Ohtani. However, during the recent game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Dodgers two-way star failed to create magic with his bat.
During the post-game interview with Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA, Shohei Ohtani not only spoke about the young pitching star

"It was a really good start to something that hopefully will be a good streak. I haven't been playing well, so it was a good night."
Dodgers postgame: Shohei Ohtani talks Roki Sasaki, Andy Pages & reacts to coming out of slump
The Dodgers got a grip over the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after being dropped in three games one after the other, and the victory came as the much-needed push for Shohei Ohtani and company. Reportedly, Ohtani failed to strike a home run against the Pirates but somehow managed to secure two doubles and a triple.
Therefore the night belonged to
Teoscar Hernandez
and
Enrique Hernandez
, as the Dodgers duo went on to help the team clinch a victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates with an overall score of 8-4. The Los Angeles Dodgers did have the perfect start, but gradually they failed to maintain their winning streak after losing a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Dodgers vs Cardinals game delayed by weather on June 6: Here's what fans need to know now
Rain disrupts Dodgers vs Cardinals clash: Updated start time and latest details from the ballpark (Getty Images) The Los Angeles Dodgers were set to kick off a pivotal six-game road trip on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals, but Mother Nature had other plans. Rain in the forecast has delayed the series opener at Busch Stadium, and no new start time has been confirmed. Originally scheduled for 5:15 p.m. PT (8:15 p.m. ET), the game now sits in limbo, leaving fans from both sides in suspense. Rain delay halts Dodgers vs Cardinals game The Dodgers are entering this road series leading the National League West, but the tight division race means there's little room for error. Every inning, every hit, every pitch matters — and this matchup with the Cardinals, despite the delay, is loaded with intrigue. On the mound for St. Louis is veteran right-hander Sonny Gray, who has been mostly solid this season with a 6-1 record and 3.65 ERA, striking out 76 batters. Despite some recent home run struggles, Gray has found a rhythm lately, posting a sharp 2.08 ERA across his last two starts. His challenge? Navigating the gauntlet that is the Dodgers lineup — a task few pitchers envy. With sluggers like Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts, the Dodgers can flip a game on its head in seconds. L.A. will counter with left-hander Justin Wrobleski, a rookie still finding his groove in the majors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Small Electric Car for Seniors in Iraq: Prices That Will Surprise You Electric Cars | Search Ads Undo Wrobleski brings an 8.00 ERA across his first two games, and though that might seem like a favorable matchup for St. Louis, the Cardinals have had their share of struggles against southpaws this season. The Dodgers' lineup will also see a few tweaks. Will Smith gets a rest day behind the plate, while Hyeseong Kim remains out due to a foot injury. Manager Dave Roberts assured that an IL stint isn't required. Catching duties will go to rookie Dalton Rushing, who will work with Wrobleski in what could be a pivotal performance for both. The night also carries emotional weight, as Tommy Edman returns to Busch Stadium for the first time since last season's blockbuster trade. The 2023 NLCS MVP, now wearing Dodger blue, didn't play for the Cardinals in 2024 due to a wrist injury, making this his first appearance in St. Louis in over a year. Stay tuned as the skies clear — there's a lot more brewing than just rain in St. Louis tonight. Also Read: Late defensive disaster by Mets hands Dodgers 6-5 comeback win in jaw-dropping turnaround
