Shohei Ohtani is back on the mound for the Dodgers in the middle game of the series against the Pirates at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.

Ohtani has allowed seven total runs (five earned) in his 10 starts, and in none of his 61 innings has allowed multiple runs. His 0.74 ERA is best in the majors among pitchers with at least 60 innings, and his 2.36 xERA ranks third.

Wednesday will be Ohtani’s first pitching appearance at PNC Park.

Jared Jones makes his third start of the season for the Pirates. The right-hander missed all of 2025 after an internal brace procedure to repair his torn UCL. Jones allowed five runs in his first game back against the Minnesota Twins on May 29, but last Thursday pitched five scoreless innings to beat the Houston Astros.
