History fell short for the Los Angeles Dodgers en route to a series sweep against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night with a 4-1 final score.
For the third time in his illustrious career, Shohei Ohtani recorded six no-hit innings in a start.
He capped off his six scoreless innings sitting at 99 pitches, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts decided to pull the plug on his two-way star.
From the jump, the walks were one area that poked the side throughout Ohtani's outing.
Throughout bursts of his outing, Ohtani was seen visibly frustrated at himself with the near misses on pitches he threw and extended at-bats against Rockies hitters.
Ohtani gave up four free passes to Colorado hitters.
Still, he did not let that deter him. He used his frustration to pick up seven punchouts and finish off his night with a 0.82 ERA.
He left the game, and the pressure of maintaining the no-hit bid, to Will Klein in the seventh.
He recorded a scoreless frame and remains one of the top relievers coming out from the Dodgers' bullpen thus far in 2026.
Duties were then handed over to Tanner Scott, who recorded the first two outs in the eighth inning, before giving up the first Rockies' hit to Tyler Freeman on a 1-2 heater.
Just like in Tuesday night's rout, the home run ball was present during Wednesday's win.
Of course, Ohtani kicked off things with a leadoff home run to straightaway center field with an exit velocity of 111.3 mph off the bat.
Providing himself with run support for himself was only backed up soon after by a home run from Freddie Freeman. It was Freeman's seventh home run of the season.
Alex Call etched his name on the scoreboard with an RBI single in the bottom of the fourth. That allowed Hyeseong Kim to score from third, but Will Smith was tagged out at home while trying to extend the lead further.
The red-hot Andy Pages, who played his second consecutive game in his new-found No. 2 hole spot in the lineup, continued his hot hitting.
He took Antonio Senzatela deep in the eighth inning for his Dodgers-leading 13th home run of the year. That put the much-needed exclamation in terms of offense on Wednesday night's victory.
With the win, the Dodgers improve to 36-20 and have won five straight.
Los Angeles has an off-day on Thursday before welcoming in the Philadelphia Phillies for a three-game weekend set.
Justin Wrobleski will kick things off in the series opener on Friday.
