Open Extended ReactionsCINCINNATI -- Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani is hopeful that he will be able to make his next mound start after his outing Wednesday night was cut short by cramping in his right hip.
Roberts went out with the trainer after Ohtani threw an 86.3 mph sweeper that was low and outside the strike zone for a 2-0 count to Spencer Steer.
After a conference on the mound, Ohtani left with the trainer.

Ohtani threw two balls to Steer and was replaced by Anthony Banda, who walked Steer and gave up Will Benson's sacrifice fly that tied the game at 2.
