MIAMI — The Los Angeles Dodgers’ recent series at the Atlanta Braves marked the first time in more than three months that Shohei Ohtani went four straight games without a home run or stolen base. It was a rut he hadn’t been in since June 6-9.

Ohtani finally ended that streak on Tuesday by hitting a third-inning home run in an 11-9 loss to the bottom-ranked Miami Marlins.

Ohtani, who has 48 homers and 48 steals through 11 games, said he’s “one little thing away” from feeling good about the mechanics of his swing again. He also denied feeling any pressure to become the first player in baseball history to reach the 50-50 mark before the regular season ends.

“No pressure,” Ohtani said through an interpreter. “I just try to have good at-bats no matter what the situation is. That’s something I’ve been trying to do all season.”

Ohtani trails only Aaron Judge (53) for the major league lead in homers and only Elly De La Cruz (64) for the major league lead in steals while hitting .287/.372/.611 — numbers that appear to put him on track to become the first full-time designated hitter to win an MVP, especially given the recent back injury to New York Mets star Francisco Lindor. Ohtani’s power has been on display all year, but his batting average (.236) and on-base percentage (.301) have declined since early August.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts recently said he’s noticed that the 50/50 milestone “is front and center” for Ohtani, even if it doesn’t necessarily add pressure. Roberts has noticed that Ohtani is more likely to pull pitches instead of spraying them into the gaps, which leads to more predetermined swings instead of seeing pitches deeper in the strike zone.

“And I think that’s kind of natural,” Roberts said. “I just think he wants to get it over with — but with the fact that he’s still trying to compete and help us win baseball games.”

Roberts recently opened the door to Ohtani’s possibility of pitching in the postseason, saying the chance is “very slim” but “not zero.”

Ohtani has thrown occasional bullpen sessions and could soon face hitters. He and the Dodgers’ pitching coaches haven’t discussed him contributing from the mound in the playoffs, a circumstance that might not be possible until the World Series. But Ohtani said they will all meet when the team returns to L.A. this weekend to discuss the rest of his rehab schedule.

When asked if he thinks he can handle it physically, given the tough conditions after major elbow surgery in a stressful environment, Ohtani smiled wryly.

“I’m not sure,” he said.
