Cleveland mustered only two hits total; Brayan Rocchio’s ninth-inning RBI single off Edwin Díaz plated Kyle Manzardo for the Guardians’ only run. Tanner Bibee took the loss (4 IP, 1 ER).

Team & trading implications

Los Angeles posted ten hits and four runs with Ohtani anchoring the staff, AthX Engine season curves still care about April sample size; treat this as a daily ceiling for the rotation and lineup. Cleveland finished 1-for-6 with RISP and two total hits, trade the cold night, then revisit how AthX MLB season projections work for the bigger arc.

Bold takeaways

Conclusion

Low-hit games reward AthX FP honesty: Ohtani won the box score; Muncy and Pages gave the Dodgers enough cushion to close 4–1.
