Yahoo Sports reports: PITTSBURGH (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning of Thursday night's game against Pittsburgh due to left knee inflammation. The reigning NL MVP hit his 13th homer of the season, a solo shot, in the third inning. He also had a single and walked twice, reaching base in all four of his at-bats. It was not immediately clear when Ohtani began feeling discomfort in the knee. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
