Shohei Ohtani pitching: Live updates, how to watch Dodgers star vs. Nationals
After he finally made his Los Angeles Dodgers pitching debut, Shohei Ohtani takes the mound once again.
The two-way star will make his second pitching start at Dodger Stadium when he faces the Washington Nationals on Sunday June 22. The afternoon start comes six days after Ohtani pitched for the first time since August 2023, when he was on the Los Angeles Angels.
Ohtani pitched one inning in a highly anticipated moment for the reigning National League MVP. He gave up one run on two hits against the San Diego Padres, but the velocity and movement of his pitches looked to be in peak form. Now, Ohtani will hope to make progress towards becoming a full fledged starter for a Dodgers team hoping its star's arm will be key to getting back to the World Series.

Dave Parker, hard-hitting Hall of Fame outfielder nicknamed 'the Cobra,' dies at 74
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dave Parker, a hard-hitting outfielder who was set to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame next month, has died, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced Saturday. He was 74. No further details about Parker's death were immediately available. The Pirates informed the crowd of his death just before the start of their game against the New York Mets and held a moment of silence. Nicknamed 'the Cobra,' the 6-foot-5 Parker made his major league debut in 1973 and played 19 seasons, 11 for the Pirates. He was the NL MVP in 1978, won a World Series with Pittsburgh a year later and then won another championship in 1989 with the Oakland Athletics. 'We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Dave Parker, a legendary Pirate,' the Pirates said in a statement. Parker won NL batting titles in 1977 and '78. He finished his career as a .290 hitter with 339 homers and 1,493 RBIs. He also played for Cincinnati, Milwaukee, the California Angels and Toronto. Parker was elected to the Hall of Fame by a special committee in December. The induction ceremony in Cooperstown, New York, is set for July 27. 'We join the baseball family in remembering Dave Parker. His legacy will be one of courage and leadership, matched only by his outstanding accomplishments on the field,' Hall chairman Jane Forbes Clark said in a statement. 'His election to the Hall of Fame in December brought great joy to him, his family and all the fans who marveled at his remarkable abilities.' After playing for Pittsburgh from 1973-83, he signed with his hometown Reds and spent four seasons with the club. In 1985 he led the NL with 125 RBIs and was second in the MVP voting. 'He was such a big dude at a time when there weren't that many '6-foot-5, 230-pound, dynamic defender, batting champion with power' guys,' Hall of Famer and Reds teammate Barry Larkin said. 'Everything about him was impressive.' In a statement, the Reds said: "Dave was a towering figure on the field, in the clubhouse and in the Cincinnati community, where his baseball journey began, playing on the fields near his home and going to games at Crosley Field. Dave's impact on the game and this franchise will never be forgotten.' Parker was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2012. He told reporters that he burst into tears upon learning of his selection to the Hall of Fame. 'Yeah, I cried,' Parker said after receiving the news. 'It only took a few minutes, because I don't cry.' Parker homered for the A's in the 1989 World Series opener and took credit for helping the Bash Brothers of Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire take the title with a four-game sweep of San Francisco. He was a seven-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove right fielder, and when he retired after the 1991 season, he was one of only five players with at least 500 doubles, 300 homers, 150 stolen bases and 2,700 hits. 'I was a five-tool player. I could do them all,' Parker said after his Hall selection. 'I never trotted to first base. I don't know if people noticed that, but I ran hard on every play.' ___
