Shohei Ohtani Rips Homer And Triple, Not Enough In Loss On Saturday
4 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani hit a homer and a triple en route to going two-for-four at the plate with two walks in the Dodgers' 11-9 extra innings loss to the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. The homer was Ohtani's 29th on the season as he increased his OPS to 1.037 on the season while also recording two RBI and three runs. With the plethora of injuries that the Dodgers have faced during the first half of the season, the lefty's prominence at the plate has helped to keep them well in front of the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West. Ohtani's case to win NL MVP as just a DH keeps growing by the day. He'll get another chance to keep his stellar season going against Tigers scheduled starter Beau Brieske, who looks to be the opener for a Tigers bullpen game on Sunday.
