Shohei Ohtani delivers a walk-off single in the 10th inning of the Dodgers’ 3-2 win over Cincinnati

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani delivered his second major league walk-off hit Sunday, a two-out single in the 10th inning that sent the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. “We dropped the first game of the series, so we really wanted to finish strong.” Ohtani’s only other walk-off hit in Major League Baseball was an 11th-inning single for the Los Angeles Angels in a 6-5 win over Houston on Sept. 4, 2020. The hard-throwing right-hander got youth coaching at Compton’s Major League Baseball Urban Youth Academy and played high school ball in Sherman Oaks before the Reds made him the second overall pick in the 2017 amateur draft. “Obviously, it’s not fun that we’re going through it, but we’re just going out there and trying to compete and do our best.” Landon Knack yielded one run on three hits over the first 4 2/3 innings for the Dodgers in his fourth major league appearance.
