The Los Angeles Dodgers lost the second game of their three-game series against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, 2-1.

Shohei Ohtani started on the mound for the Dodgers, but notably wasn’t included in LA’s lineup for the game. This was the second time the Dodgers left him out on a pitching day this season, with the first coming against the New York Mets earlier in the month.

Ohtani allowed a season-high two runs in the outing across six innings, and managed nine strikeouts. The two earned runs on the outing raised Ohtani’s ERA to 0.60 from 0.38 before the game, and now that he has risen into qualification he officially leads the Major League Baseball in ERA.

Los Angeles threatened to score first, putting Dalton Rushing on third and eventually loading the bases, but couldn’t put themselves on the board.
