Shohei Ohtani’s slump is over.

His statement game in San Diego this week made sure of that.

On the latest episode of the Dodgers Post podcast, that’s what California Post baseball writers Dylan Hernandez and Jack Harris discuss.

They break down Ohtani’s ever-evolving usage, how he seems to feel about it, and why Wednesday’s game –– in which he hit a leadoff home run and pitched five scoreless innings –– was so important at this stage of the season.

Later, the two also break down Andy Pages’ epic battle against Padres closer Mason Miller on Tuesday night, and why it felt like such a seminal early-season moment in this Dodgers’ campaign.

They also review the Dodgers’ overall play during their series win over the Padres, which put the club back in first place in the standings.

And as always, they finish with predictions for this upcoming week, as the Dodgers head to Milwaukee for a three-game series against the Brewers.
