The Dodgers are set to cap off a busy weekend with their final game against the Nationals on Sunday, completing a three-game series and wrapping up a significant 10-game homestand, which is their longest of the season at Dodger Stadium.
A highlight of the game will be Shohei Ohtani, who is making his second start this season after returning from injury. Six days ago, he threw 28 pitches in just one inning against the Padres but is expected to stretch his performance to two innings against the Nationals. His gradual return to pitching roles marks a positive step in his journey back to traditional starting duties. Following Ohtani, Ben Casparius will once again take on a bulk role, providing support for the team as they seek to solidify their performance on the mound.
On the opposing side, Michael Soroka will get the nod for the Nationals. As both teams look to finish on a strong note, this game could have significant implications as the Dodgers continue to pursue success as they head deeper into the season.
With the Dodgers displaying resilience and Ohtani’s return to form, fans can expect an exciting matchup as the team aims to close this chapter of the season on a high note.
