WASHINGTON -- Shohei Ohtani got going again at the plate Monday night, falling just a double short of hitting for the cycle.
The three-time MVP homered, tripled, singled and walked, finishing 3 for 4 with two RBIs in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 6-4 loss to the Washington Nationals. It was a nice bounce-back for Ohtani after he went 1 for 11 in a weekend series at Philadelphia.
With the Dodgers down two runs and Max Muncy on third base with two outs in the ninth inning, Ohtani walked on a full-count splitter from Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan.
