Ohtani started the away game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on the 24th (Korea time), striking out eight in six innings and blocking five hits without losing a point. However, the Dodgers suffered another absurd upset loss of 4-5 due to the bullpen's difficulty.
Ohtani, who filled six innings for the first time since returning to the mound in June, threw a season-high 91 pitches. He did not give up any walks, and his fastball speed of 44 pitches averaged up to 101.2 miles (162.9 kilometers) and 98.2 miles. The ratio of swing and miss was 33% (16 out of 48 swings), and ball mixing was also effective.
With this, Ohtani will throw 47 innings in 14 regular-season games, marking 2-1 with a 2.87 ERA, 9 walks, 62 strikeouts, WHIP 1.04, and a 0.227 hit rate, and start preparing for the postseason.
In particular, he has pitched three consecutive scoreless games, raising expectations for his first fall baseball mound in eight years since his Major League debut. Ohtani will start Game 1 of the Wild Card Series on October 1 if the current rotation is maintained.

Ohtani then gave up a missed left-handed hit by Carroll and was on the first and second bases with two outs, overpowered Moreno with a fly to center field to finish the inning.

In the end, Ohtani's victory went up in smoke. In the bottom of the ninth inning with a 4-3 lead, Tanner Scott threw out the lead, Ildemaro, and walked Tim Tawa in the ninth inning, facing a crisis of first and second bases with no outs, and McCann's sacrifice bunt came out, driving him to second and third bases with one out. He then gave up a sacrifice fly to left field to Jorge Barossa, tying the game 4-4, allowing Perdomo to hit the finishing left field, eventually bending his head down. Scott's 10th Blon Save of the Season. On the full count, Perdomo pulled Scott's slider that flew into the middle of 90.2 miles, hitting a line drive left-handed hit, bringing Tawa home.
The Dodgers marked 88 wins and 69 losses and maintained their NL West winning magic number '3'.
