Shohei Ohtani, struggling since returning from the paternity list and slumping even before that, can't get the key hit as Dodgers lose to Cubs.

After a frustrating 7-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs, Ohtani missed an opportunity with runners in scoring position, and he’s batting .261 overall and .224 in his last 14 games. It’s not a scorching start like last year, but it’s hardly a disaster, especially this early.

Shohei Ohtani is away from the Los Angeles Dodgers for the birth of his first child. Manager Dave Roberts says Ohtani is with his wife and on MLB's paternity list.
