Shohei Ohtani was stranded on base to end the top half of the first inning for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he had to get out to the mound to pitch. MLB has implemented a between innings clock. That is supposed to count down, and when it gets to zero, the inning is supposed to start.

Umpires had already allowed it in the first inning, when Ohtani ended the top half of the frame on third base and took the mound with just 40 seconds left on the clock. Blue Jays manager John Schneider spoke with home-plate umpire Jordan Baker after the inning and, an inning later, discussed the matter with crew chief Mark Wegner.
