Rockies break up Dodgers’ combined no-hit bid with single off Tanner Scott in 8th

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, Will Klein and Tanner Scott had their combined no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies broken up in the eighth inning on Wednesday night.

Scott took over to start the eighth and allowed a two-out single to right by Tyler Freeman after Ohtani and Will Klein combined for seven hitless innings.

Klein started the seventh after Ohtani tossed six innings of one-run ball. The Japanese right-hander struck out seven and walked four. Ohtani left the game after throwing 99 pitches, 56 for strikes.

Ohtani allowed an earned run in the fourth on Willi Castro’s groundout to second, raising his ERA to 0.82.

Ohtani hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first, the second straight mound start in which he’s gone deep.

Klein retired the side in the seventh, helped by an inning-ending double play.

The Dodgers led 3-1 at the time.
