Shohei Ohtani has been hit by a pitch from San Diego Padres starter Randy Vásquez in the third inning, and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was ejected after arguing on the field

"Yeah, it changed quite a bit," Ohtani told the Japanese media, according to a translation from DodgersBeat. "My arm slot dropped, and that was mainly due to better coordination with my lower body. At this stage, we felt that lowering the angle would give us the best results, so it happened naturally."

The two-way superstar from Japan gave up a run and a pair of two-strike hits in one inning of work Monday night against San Diego as he returned from right elbow surgery.
