Shohei Ohtani made his first Major League Baseball pitching start in 663 days and his first ever for the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday night at Dodger Stadium. The outing lasted just an inning; he threw 28 pitches and allowed a run on two hits while throwing a costly wild pitch.

The day that the Dodgers have been waiting for since they signed Shohei Ohtani to a then-record contract is nearly here: Ohtani's first start as a pitcher in a Dodgers uniform is set for Monday night against the Padres.

Ohtani made his long-awaited Dodgers pitching debut last night against the San Diego Padres, going one inning with one earned run allowed on two hits, zero strikeouts, and zero walks. He threw 28 pitches and 16 strikes.
