Shohei Ohtani pitching highlights: Dodgers star throws fastest pitch of career
It was another Shohei Ohtani bump day, and for the first time in 2025, he went more than one inning. And he brought the heat in Kansas City. Ohtani pitched two innings of scoreless baseball against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, June 28, and he notched another career achievement when he threw the hardest pitch of his career at 102 mph. Advertisement Saturday was a first for the Los Angeles Dodgers star in 2025 in that he pitched away from home. In his first two starts, he tossed an inning of work before he rushed near the dugout to get his batting gear on so he could bat leadoff. This time around, he got to take an at-bat before he threw a single pitch, allowing him to have a not-so-chaotic first inning. Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitches during the second inning against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on June 28, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri. It didn't start well at the plate, as Ohtani struck out on three pitches, the third straight time he started the day with a strikeout when pitching. Trouble was brewing in the first inning of pitching for Ohtani, but he was able to work out of it. After he got leadoff hitter Jonathan India to fly out, he gave up a bloop single to Bobby Witt Jr. before he walked Maikel Garcia on five pitches. Batters have reached in all of Ohtani's first innings of work, but the threat ended quickly when he got Vinny Pasquantino to ground into a double play. Advertisement REQUIRED READING: MLB at the midway point: Cal Raleigh's HR pace could deny Aaron Judge a Triple Crown He got Pasquantino out the fastest thrown pitch of Ohtani's career, which was technically 101.7 mph. The second inning was much more smooth for the two-way star. He retired the side, including a strikeout on rookie Jac Caglianone, on 13 pitches, and the velocity was still up in the high 90s. He finished the day on the mound with 27 pitches − 20 of which were strikes −against seven batters, giving up one hit and one strikeout. After he was dependent on the sweeper in his most recent outing against the Washington Nationals, Ohtani relied on the fastball in Kansas City. He threw it 11 times and he threw triple-digits three times on the day. Advertisement The sweeper was also used often, but it was the first time Ohtani reincorporated the slider into his pitch arsenal. He certainly got Kansas City conscious of it as the Royal swung on all four sliders he threw, including the swinging strikeout by Caglianone. Since giving up a run in his 2025 pitching debut, Ohtani hasn't given up another score since. Shohei Ohtani 2025 pitching stats Innings pitched: 4.0 ERA: 2.25 Strikeouts: 3 Hits: 3 Walks: 1 Home runs: 0 Runs: 1 This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Shohei Ohtani tosses hardest pitch of MLB career to date

Perez hits go-ahead single, India and Witt homer as the Royals beat the Padres 6-5
SAN DIEGO -- Salvador Perez singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning for the Kansas City Royals, who got home runs from Jonathan India and Bobby Witt Jr. to beat the San Diego Padres 6-5 on Friday night for their fourth straight win. The Royals started this trip with a three-game sweep at Texas. The Padres have lost eight of 11. San Diego's Manny Machado hit his 12th homer leading off the ninth off Carlos Estévez, who then retired the side for his big league-leading 22nd save. Padres manager Mike Shildt served his one-game suspension handed down by MLB after a brouhaha in Los Angeles on Thursday night after Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit on the right wrist by a pitch in San Diego's 5-3 win, which prevented a four-game sweep. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts also was suspended for one game. Padres closer Robert Suarez was suspended for three games for hitting Shohei Ohtani with a pitch in the ninth inning. He is appealing. Tatis started Friday night after imaging showed no damage. Padres reliever Jason Adam (5-3) opened the eighth by allowing a single and a walk before the 35-year-old Perez singled to left to bring in Maikel Garcia with the go-ahead run. Drew Waters added an RBI single with two outs. Witt homered to left with one out in the first, his 11th, off Nick Pivetta. Pivetta opened the fifth with consecutive walks to Freddy Fermin and Nick Loftin and then allowed India's shot to left with one out for a 4-0 lead. It was his fourth. The Padres chased starter Matt Lorenzen in the sixth as they closed to 4-2. Gavin Sheets tied it with a two-out, two-run single in the seventh off Lucas Erceg (2-2). Jake Cronenworth worked a full count against Estévez before popping up to end it. Xander Bogaerts, who has struggled this year, tied the Padres' franchise record by hitting safely in eight straight at-bats before popping up in the ninth.
