In a game against the Cardinals, the Dodgers won 6-3 with standout performances from Bobby Miller, Mookie Betts, Miguel Rojas, and Teoscar Hernández. Evan Phillips secured his first save. The Cardinals later defeated the Dodgers 6-5 in the 10th inning, with Shohei Ohtani failing to capitalize on a crucial moment. Ohtani's performance has been closely scrutinized amidst a gambling scandal involving his former interpreter.
Should investigations into illegal sports betting find that Ohtani Shohei was knowingly involved in settling debts, or in the gambling itself—all of which he has denied—it would threaten Major League Baseball’s new lease of life https://t.co/gs1jlb8D4L 👇

With the Dodgers trailing by one, Shohei Ohtani will bat with the bases loaded and two outs in the 10th
