That is a bad loss for the Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani gave them four dominant innings and a two-run home run. The offense didn't score after the fourth inning, blowing a 3-1 lead.

The Dodgers are 66-49 and have a 2.5 game lead in the NL West over the Padres (who play Arizona tonight).

This is the best Shohei Ohtani has looked as a pitcher for the Dodgers.

If it weren't for a dropped pop up, he'd be through four shutout (and probably perfect) innings.

He has eight strikeouts on 54 pitches. He has 13 whiffs. He's hit a two-run home run.

This is unbelievable.

Shohei Ohtani the pitcher has touched 101.1 mph and thrown five pitches at or higher than 100 mph today.

Shohei Ohtani the hitter crushed this ball 109.5 mph off the bat and a whopping 440 feet to center field.

The Dodgers superstar is truly unbelievable.

3 Dodgers Under Most Pressure to Perform Following Shocking Roster Move Three Los Angeles Dodgers players are suddenly under immense pressure to perform following the latest roster move.

The Dodgers sent a clear message to the rest of their roster on Wednesday with the Dalton Rushing, Austin Barnes move:

The only thing that matters to this ball club is winning.

Here are three Dodgers now under the most pressure to help this team win:

Dodgers Calling Up Top Prospect Dalton Rushing in Shocking Move The Los Angeles Dodgers are calling up top hitting prospect Dalton Rushing, per The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya.

Hard to imagine the Dodgers DFA'ing Austin Barnes and calling up Dalton Rushing for him to play once/twice a week as a backup catcher.

Thus, this puts immense pressure on every struggling hitter — especially Michael Conforto.

Rushing has played LF in the minors.

Dodgers Calling Up Top Prospect Dalton Rushing in Shocking Move The Los Angeles Dodgers are calling up top hitting prospect Dalton Rushing, per The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya.

Austin Barnes has spent his entire 11-year MLB career with the Dodgers.
