Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff home run, his 25th of the season, against the Chicago White Sox. This marked his second consecutive game with a leadoff homer. The Los Angeles Dodgers capitalized on Ohtani's homer and additional scoring plays, including a sacrifice fly by Teoscar Hernandez and a two-run double by Freddie Freeman, to secure a 4-0 victory. Gavin Stone pitched a complete-game shutout, striking out seven and allowing only four hits. Stone's performance improved his ERA to 2.73. The White Sox, who are now 21-61, struggled offensively and were swept in the series. Gavin Sheets had the only extra-base hit for the White Sox but left the game with a heel bruise.
Wrote a thing about Shohei Ohtani, who has not only somehow *upped* his game (while rehabbing & on a new team), but is going to end up making a strong case for the first ever full-time DH MVP -- which would be his third win. Yeah, he's underrated. --> https://t.co/ccxO25M9Zw

Swept, shut out and thrown out: White Sox start second half with 4-0 loss to Dodgers https://t.co/u6BJtZZzca
White Sox lose to the Dodgers, 4-0 Sox offense went 0-for-the series w/RISP while getting swept. Gavin Sheets had the only extra-base hit and then left with a heel bruise. Dodgers starter Gavin Stone threw a CGSHO. Sox are 21-61, 40 games under .500 before July.
Ballgame. Sox lose 4-0. Dodgers scored three after Shohei Ohtani’s leadoff homer, but that would have been enough all by itself on a lifeless night for the Sox’ bats, which mustered all of four hits in Gavin Stone’s complete-game shutout. Sox are 21-61, 40 games below .500.
Gavin Stone's 6th and 7th Ks. https://t.co/frAJbHvuc4
Gavin Stone at 43 pitches through 4 innings
A leadoff single, a ball on the infield that probably should have been ruled a single and a four-pitch walk to Shohei Ohtani loaded the bases with nobody out in the third inning. A Teoscar Hernandez sacrifice fly and a two-run double by Freddie Freeman cleared ‘em. Sox down 4-0.
