Shohei Ohtani struck out eight batters over seven shutout innings at Dodger Stadium, lowering his ERA to 0.82 as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 4-0. Mookie Betts and Espinal hit home runs to supply the offense, and the win snapped Los Angeles' four-game losing streak. Ohtani's 0.82 ERA through seven starts is the best for a Dodger since Fernando Valenzuela's 0.29 in 1981, underscoring his early-season dominance and making him an early Cy Young candidate.
