- Story Text: Los Angeles Dodgers players including baseball super star Shohei Ohtani get ready for MLB's second opening game in Tokyo on Wednesday (March 19).
Ohtani was seen practicing throwing on pitch one hour before the game kicked off. Other players including pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Kike Hernandez, Miguel Rojas and Max Muncy also took part in the practice.
Shohei Ohtani led the Dodgers staged a historic season-opening 4-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs in front of his home fans in Tokyo on Tuesday (March 18).
However, the Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman felt discomfort in his left rib which took him out of the opener due to an old injury. Freeman remains out of the lineup of the second game on Wednesday.
Roki Sasaki takes the mound for the Dodgers at the second game against his countryman Seiya Suzuki at the Cubs.
