At 4-0, the Los Angeles Dodgers are off to the best start by a defending World Series champion since the Detroit Tigers won their first six games in 1985. The Dodgers have done that without having Shohei Ohtani the pitcher.

Shohei Ohtani has thrown his first bullpen session since late February, but the reigning NL MVP still has plenty of work to do before he takes the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ohtani, who admits to being “nervous,” has two hits and scores two runs, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto combines with the bullpen to hold the Cubs to three hits in a 4-1 win.
