Shohei Ohtani - Snaps steal-less stretch Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-5 win against Kansas City on Monday.

Impact Ohtani drove in the Dodgers' first run with a double in the third inning and scored the game-winning run on a Freddie Freeman single in the seventh. Still, the most notable stat of the game for the two-way star was his stolen base, which ended a 67-game span without a theft. Ohtani attempted just three steals during the drought, so he hasn't been very active on the basepaths despite reaching base at a .405 clip during the steal-less stretch. It was only two seasons ago that Ohtani logged a career-best 59 steals, but it's not all that surprising that he's become less of a speed threat given that he's battled a knee injury for the past couple months and has also had to focus much of his attention on pitching when healthy enough to do so.

Edwin Díaz - Posts much-needed save Diaz earned a save against the Royals on Monday, striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

Impact Diaz entered Monday having blown both of his save chances and allowing four runs over two innings across his past three outings. Manager Dave Roberts continued to stick with him, and the veteran closer came through with a clean inning on 12 pitches (eight strikes). It was just the third time through 13 appearances with Los Angeles that Diaz has completed an outing without allowing any hits or walks. He's posted just six saves in nine chances while compiling an ugly 9.82 ERA and 2.27 WHIP over 13 appearances, but the Dodgers seem intent on allowing their prized free-agent acquisition to work through his struggles.

Tarik Skubal - Notches no-decision in Los Angeles Skubal allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Monday.

Impact It was a grind for Skubal in his first home start at Dodger Stadium, as he needed 95 pitches to get through five frames. The star southpaw gave up three runs over his first three innings but at least managed to close out his outing with two scoreless frames. Skubal did record a healthy 14 whiffs and six punchouts, so the outing wasn't entirely mediocre. He's allowed five runs across 11 innings while posting a 12:4 K:BB over his first two starts with the Dodgers and is lined up to next take the mound at home in a tough matchup versus Milwaukee.
