The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Washington Nationals in a 4-1 victory on Tuesday at Nationals Park as the offense delivered with a few timely hits, including one from James Outman in the eighth inning. Going 3-for-10 with runners in scoring position, the Dodgers were on par with their opponent that went 3-for-9 in those same spots. Outman, however, came through with a pinch-hit RBI-double that broke a 1-1 tie. On the sixth pitch of the at-bat, the lefty stroked a hanging splitter down the right-field line, scoring Teoscar Hernández.
Shohei Ohtani set the MLB record for most home runs hit by a Japanese-born player on Sunday and followed that up with another majestic long ball that won't soon be forgotten. With the Los Angeles Dodgers holding a 3-1 lead over the Washington Nationals in the ninth inning of their series opener, Ohtani provided some insurance with a solo home run that traveled 450 feet to the upper deck at Nationals Park. The homer had an exit velocity of 118.7 mph, which is the hardest-hit ball in the Majors this season. It was also the hardest-hit ball of Ohtani's career and the hardest-hit ball by any Dodgers player since Statcast started tracking exit velocity in 2015.
