And he now holds the longest scoreless innings streak for a left-hander in Major League Baseball history.
Not Sandy Koufax.
Not Steve Carlton.
Not Randy Johnson.
Not Clayton Kershaw.
Not Pat Combs.
(just seeing if you were paying attention).

Tonight was Shohei Ohtani's 11th career game where he pitched 5.0+ innings and had more or as many base hits as he allowed.
The only MLB player in the modern era with more such games is Walter Johnson (16).
Following six more scoreless innings tonight, Shohei Ohtani's ERA is 0.74. Through 10 starts, the lowest ERAs in major league history:
Jacob deGrom, 2021: 0.56
Juan Marichal, 1966: 0.59
Shohei Ohtani, 2026: 0.74
Hitters are slashing .144/.224/.211 against him. Just incredible.
That's 8 losses in the last 9 games for the Padres. In those losses, they've scored a total of 15 runs.
They have the worst offense in baseball, and there's no help on the way.
This is the third time in franchise history the Giants have won a game 1-0 on a player’s first career HR, joining:
8/7/1991 Darren Lewis
6/10/1954 Bill Taylor
Taylor, like Victor Bericoto, did it in Milwaukee (v Braves)

Ossoff: "If we want to stop these spectacularly incompetent, loyalist nominees from getting confirmed in the Senate, we're going to have to stop relying on a few Republican senators to suddenly discover their courage and integrity. We're going to have to win the majority."
Lowest ERA in first 10 starts of season, since ER official (1913) excl openers:
2021 Jacob deGrom: 0.56
1966 Juan Marichal: 0.59
2026 Shohei Ohtani: 0.74
!!!
Also has been on base 4 times tonight
After the series loss to the Guardians, the Yankees still only have one series win vs a team that entered Wednesday with a .500 or better record (Mariners, March 30-April 1)
