00:00DRS start number two of the year for Shohei Otani again just one inning of work but after

00:06his first start of the season on Monday start number two yesterday against the Washington

00:11Nationals only one inning but did go scoreless striking out two and then had a huge day at the

00:20plate two for four a home run a triple five RBIs in a high scoring affair as the Dodgers win

00:27against the Washington Nationals 13 to 7 the final at the ravine yesterday yeah it's interesting

00:35too because you look at the Dodgers didn't even score a run through five innings still played at

00:3913 that's how explosive that lineup can be but also more eyes focus we know Otani is going to

00:43be great at the plate probably going to be the MVP and yesterday widening his margin in that MVP race
