Dodgers 0-0 Blue Jays, end of first inning

A bit of confusion here. Ohtani takes the mound a bit late and has yet to throw a warm-up pitch at the time the Blue Jays are ready to bat. The home-play umpire is giving him a little extra time.

George Springer takes three straight balls from Ohtani before taking a strike. The Toronto DH, back from an oblique injury, then rips a line drive to left field for a leadoff single. The crowd explodes.

Nathan Lukes goes down 1-2 in the count and fights off a few more pitches before striking out swinging on a splitter.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr works the count to 3-2, then takes a 100mph fastball right down the middle for a called strikeout ... before catcher Will Smith fires down to second to catch Springer stealing. The strikeout double play abruptly ends the inning. Both teams get leadoff hits in the first inning but neither can take advantage.

Ohtani takes two balls, fouls off a cutter, then singles to right-field off a changeup.

Will Smith grounds out to first base, making the first out but moving Ohtani into scoring position.

Freeman jumps on the first pitch and flies out to center for the second out, but Ohtani tags up and takes third.

Betts takes a ball, then grounds out to short to roars from the Rogers Centre crowd. It’s a scoreless first inning for Scherzer.
