Los Angeles Dodgers' Andy Pazs, who was considered Kim Hye-sung's competitor ahead of the season, hit hard every day, completely dispelling the minor-bound claim.

In the home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Dodger Stadium on the 28th (Korea Standard Time), Pazas started in left field as the 6th and led the Pirates to a 9-2 victory with 4 hits and 4 RBIs in 5 at-bats, including a home run.

The Dodgers, who have won two consecutive games, finished the three-game series against Pittsburgh with a 2-1 winning series, marking 18 wins and 10 losses, and maintaining second place in the NL West.




Parx was in a severe slump at the beginning of the season and couldn't get out of the 10% batting average. However, after hitting his first home run of the season against the Washington Nationals on the 9th, he hit a tiebreaking solo shot in the seventh inning of the same game on the 10th, and the recovery began.

And since the game against the Chicago Cubs on the 23rd, he has hit five consecutive games until this day, raising his batting sense back to normal. During this period, he had a batting average of 0.650 (13 hits in 20 at-bats), and poured in three home runs and six RBIs. There is no once-high claim of Pazs to Minor.

Manager Dave Roberts said on the 16th that he would give 150 at-bats opportunities when Pazs continued his slump, but it is no exaggeration to say that he has already received a passing score with 93 at-bats until this day.




However, Shohei Ohtani failed to hit a home run on the same day as well. He has not been able to operate a cannon in six games since he fired a large 448-foot superior solo shot in the bottom of the first inning against the Colorado Rockies on the 17th. Coincidentally, it's after I went on maternity leave.

In six games during this period, he recorded seven hits in 25 at-bats (0.280) with five RBIs, three walks and one stolen base. It's not explosive. He made three hits the previous day to increase his hitting sense, but there was also no home run.

He hit 0.286 (30 for 105), six home runs, nine RBIs, 26 runs, 15 walks, six steals, and an OPS of 0.908. In the NL, the home run is tied for 13th and the OPS is only 10th. In particular, the home run category is fourth behind Arizona Diamondbacks Eugenio Suarez (10).

In his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, trailing 0-2, Ohtani got a walk after a close game of eight pitches with Pittsburgh starter Bailey Poulter and then homered on a follow-up hit. The Dodgers turned the tide 3-2 with Freddie Freeman's two-run timely hit and Pittsburgh third baseman Kibryan Hayes' error when Tommy Edman grounded out in Mookie Betts' right-handed hit, Teosca's grounder to the third base. Parx then added a timely hit to run 4-2.

Ohtani hit a right double in the second inning with one out and a runner on the first base, connecting the chances to the second and third bases. On a two-ball, he pulled Poulter's third 92-mile sinker and hit a 113,3-mile line drive that landed on the right-field line. The Dodgers then went on to run 5-2 with Betts' sacrifice fly.

After striking out in the fourth and fifth consecutive innings, Ohtani hit a right-handed hit in the seventh inning to complete a multi-hit. Opponent right-hander Colin Holderman's second pitch pulled a cutter in the middle of 91.5 miles and hit the right. However, Betts hit a double play and the inning ended as it was.

In the bottom of the fifth inning with a 5-2 lead, the Dodgers widened the gap to 8-2 with Teoscar's solo home run in the middle and Pazs' two-run home run in the middle of the fifth inning, and added a point with Pazs' timely hit in the sixth inning to decide the game.

However, Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow left early after pitching in the first inning, complaining of right shoulder pain. It is feared that the injured list (IL) will be listed. Glasnow previously threw 52 pitches in four innings against the Texas Rangers on the 21st and pitched three hits without losing a point, before voluntarily withdrawing due to left leg cramps.

Glasnow threw a 92.5-mile fastball into the middle of Andrew McCutchen after two outs in the top of the first inning, then gave up a solo home run in the middle, and left-handed batter Enmanuel Valdez also threw a 95.7-mile fastball into the middle of the fifth pitch and allowed a superior solo shot. He allowed two runs first with a back-to-back home run.

Glasnow took the mound in the top of the second inning with a 4-2 turnaround and was replaced by Ben Kasparius after complaining of shoulder pain during practice pitching.

Glasnow, who has one win and a 4.50 ERA in five games this season, has never filled the regular innings since his debut with Pittsburgh in 2016. Last year, he was on the IL twice due to back and elbow injuries, playing only 22 games.

The Dodgers, whose left-hander ace Blase Snell is already on the IL due to a left shoulder injury, are waiting for the results of the examination with even Glasnow unstable.
