The Dodgers entered Oracle Park on Wednesday night looking to rebound from their series-opening loss but instead fell 3–0 to the Giants. The defeat was their fourth in five games during the current road trip, and, more importantly, it brought an end to one of baseball’s most remarkable recent streaks as Ohtani’s 53-game run of reaching base safely came to a close.
He went 0-for-4 without drawing a walk, marking his first game without reaching base since August 23, 2025. The streak, which spanned over two separate seasons, underscored his elite discipline and offensive reliability.
Despite the result at the plate, Ohtani excelled on the mound . He delivered six scoreless innings and recorded seven strikeouts, exiting with the game tied 0–0. The Giants broke through late against the Dodgers’ bullpen to secure the win.
Following the game, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale noted the milestone’s end in a post on X, formerly Twitter, emphasizing the significance of the two-way superstar’s historic run.

“ Shohei Ohtani ’s 53-game on-base streak comes to an end in the Dodgers’ 3-0 defeat to the Giants.”
The Dodgers and Giants rivalry once again gave fans drama, this time with history on the line. Ohtani’s 53-game streak is tied for the second-longest in Dodgers franchise history, trailing only Duke Snider, and it is a new record for any Japanese-born player.
As the club looks ahead, the loss emphasizes the necessity of a quick reset. While the streak may be over for Ohtani, the 31-year-old’s two-way dominance remains undeniable and unmatched.
