4/1/26 7:00 AM - Shohei Ohtani’s quest for Cy Young Award begins with 6 shutout innings as Dodgers beat Guardians. Shohei Ohtani opened his season on the mound with six scoreless innings and a win for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

He says he feels looser than last season, even with flaws to fix. His regular-season scoreless streak has reached a career-best 22 2/3 innings.
