Considering how much the Dodgers have struggled lately, they'll need every bit of Shohei Ohtani's talent on the mound and at the plate as he continues to build up as a pitcher.

Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani wasn't particularly sharp in his second consecutive three-inning outing Monday night, allowing his first home run of the season and seven batted balls that exceeded 95 mph -- but he made up for it at the plate.

The two-way star started Monday’s game for the Dodgers on the mound and was also hitting second in the lineup.
