Angeles Dodgers against the San Diego Padres

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.329
on Monday night. After months of observation,

00:05:08.709 --> 00:05:11.290
Otani stepped onto the mound for the first time

00:05:11.290 --> 00:05:14.529
since his September 20, 23 Tommy John surgery.

Although he reached 100 miles per hour with his

00:05:25.930 --> 00:05:28.870
fastball, his command was shaky, missing the

00:05:28.870 --> 00:05:32.610
zone 12 times. Despite this, the moment marked

Despite Manny Machado's solo homer and a sacrifice

00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.939
fly bringing Tatis home, the offense couldn't

00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:04.100
keep pace. Dodger Muncie's key single in the

00:06:04.100 --> 00:06:07.680
