Peddy faced a crisis again in the third inning. After receiving a hit from leadoff hitter Enrique Hernandez, he induced Austin Barnes to ground out to the infield. However, the course was good. Second baseman Nikki Lopez backhandedly threw it to the second base, but Hernandez was safe. After facing a crisis with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, Peddy encountered Ohtani again. There was no way he could give a good ball. He allowed a straight walk.
