October baseball once felt like a distant goal for Shohei Ohtani. Suddenly, after just one game with his new team, he had to sense how close it was.
Shohei Ohtani was in a good mood. He collected a couple of singles on Wednesday night in his Dodgers debut, including one against countryman Yu Darvish. He stole a base. He drove in the final run of a four-run eighth inning that reversed a one-run deficit and sent his team on its way to a 5-2 opening-day victory over the San Diego Padres at Gocheok Sky Dome. When Ohtani was approached in the Dodgers clubhouse, a team official said he wasn’t talking. Ohtani told him he didn’t mind.
“He threw some wonderful pitches and worked me into difficult counts both times, so I think they were uncomfortable at-bats for me,” he said. “I think it was good that I was somehow able to get a hit.” Ohtani followed his single off Darvish with his first steal of the season. He’d worked on improving his running form in spring training with the idea of becoming more of a threat on the bases.
