After pulling his starter with apparent cramps, Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts explained to reporters how Shohei Ohtani is feeling.

Shohei Ohtani was scheduled to go four innings on a hot, humid night against the Cincinnati Reds, but he left without recording an out in the fourth after he threw six straight balls, including two consecutive wild pitches.

"Dodgers say Shohei Ohtani exited his pitching outing with cramps," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reported. This was just Ohtani's seventh appearance as a pitcher with the Dodgers after working his way back from surgery.
