“Shohei Ohtani saved his on-base streak with an infield single in the seventh inning on Tuesday night.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states Ohtani saved his streak with an infield single on Tuesday. However, evidence from Netscape Sports and other sources explicitly states that Ohtani's 53-game on-base streak 'ended' on a night he pitched, and specifically that he went '0-for-4' in the 3-0 loss to the Giants, meaning he did not reach base.
