Shohei Ohtani's blistered hand looked nasty during his season-worst start

Shohei Ohtani was seeing red during Wednesday’s start … literally.

The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Ohtani took the mound on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. But Ohtani definitely had to overcome some adversity during the game at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif.

Ohtani ended up giving up a season-worst four earned runs on seven hits and one walk. He also managed a modest five strikeouts but was particularly bad in the fourth inning.

The back-to-back reigning NL MVP Ohtani allowed all four of his earned runs in that fourth inning. After he finally retired the side, the issue for Ohtani became apparent.

Television cameras showed Ohtani walking back to the dugout with a bloody middle finger from a nasty blister on his pitching hand. The blood had even dripped onto Ohtani’s uniform at one point.
