Shohei Ohtani hit his 15th home run of the season, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Ohtani hit a first-pitch solo home run off Drew Rasmussen in the sixth inning to break a scoreless game.

The home run to center field was just the cushion the left-handed Justin Wrobleski needed. Wrobleski allowed just three hits, struck out five and walked none. Tanner Scott earned his ninth save of the season after retiring the side in the ninth.

Rasmussen pitched well, too, with his only blemish being the Ohtani home run. Rasmussen threw seven innings and allowed one run on six hits. He struck out seven.

Ohtani has been heating up at the plate, with four home runs in the last six games. He will not bat Wednesday but he is pitching for the first time since knee inflammation caused him to miss a game last week.
