Suddenly, the party stopped.
Shohei Ohtani was on the ground, writhing in pain after he was caught stealing second base in the seventh inning.
Dodger Stadium was silent.
When Dodgers trainer Yosuke Nakajima reported to the scene, the Fox broadcast picked up their conversation in Japanese.
“It’s the shoulder,” Ohtani said.
“What?” Nakajima asked.
“Shoulder.”
“Which shoulder?”
“Left.”
“Did it come off?” Nakajima asked.
“Probably,” Ohtani said.
