For his part, closer Josh Hader took care of the last four outs of the game, securing his 25th save of the season, currently leading Major League Baseball in this statistic.Ohtani: A Progressive Return
Shohei Ohtani, in his gradual return to the mound after elbow surgery, pitched two scoreless innings. He demonstrated his skill by striking out all three batters in the second inning.
