LA Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani added one stolen base to get one step closer to 40 home runs and 40 steals.
Ohtani played as the designated hitter for leadoff at a home game against the Seattle Mariners at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday (Korea time), and recorded one hit, one walk, and two runs from four times at bat. The Dodgers won the game 8-4, continuing its four-game winning streak.
Ohtani, who struck out a foul tip on Seattle ace Logan Gilbert’s 92.5-mile slider in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, walked to load the bases in his second at-bat in the third inning when he was trailing 0-1. After Kevin Kiermaier, the ninth, got on base due to a shortstop error after two outs, Ohtani picked Gilbert’s five-pitch, 84-mile-low one-bound curve ball in 3B1S.
Mookie Betts then hit a double that cut the left side of the left field, bringing in both runners and turning the tide 2-1. In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Dodgers added a point when Will Smith hit a sacrifice fly to center field in a one-out third-base chance made by the first-runner Teoscar Hernandez’s hit, steal and opponent wild pitch.
With his team leading 3-1 in the fifth inning, Ohtani added hits and steals in his third at-bat. Ohtani pulled Gilbert’s cutter in the middle of the 5th pitch of 94.2 miles with the ball count of 3B1S to produce a 97.8-mile hit on the clothesline that fell to the right-center field, and quickly ran to the 2nd base when his 85.8-mile slider became a strike on his body at the batter’s box.
Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh didn’t even throw the ball because it started so fast. Then Ohtani, who advanced to third base due to Gilbert’s wild pitch, homered with Freeman’s double to the right-center, widening the gap to 4-1.
The Dodgers ran 5-1 due to Teoscar’s timely hit with two outs and third base, and Max Muncy hit a double to the right and called all three runners to run 8-1.
In the sixth inning with an 8-2 lead, Ohtani stepped down with a fly to left field with no outs, and in the eighth inning, he hit a ground ball to the first base. 먹튀검증
Ohtani thus marked a batting average of 0.291 (144 hits in 495 at-bats), 39 homers, 88 RBIs, 96 runs, 69 walks, 39 steals, 0.378 on-base percentage, 0.610 slugging percentage, 0.988 OPS, 74 long hits, and 302-base hits. He is still No. 1 in NL home runs, runs, slugging percentage, OPS, long hit, and Ruta.
If Ohtani adds one homer and one stolen base, he will join the 40-homer club for the sixth time in his history. The Dodgers will hold six consecutive home games with the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles starting on Monday. During this period, Ohtani’s 40-40 game is expected to be born.
The Dodgers, which have won four consecutive games since the match against the St. Louis Cardinals on the 19th, marked 76 wins and 52 losses and maintained their No. 1 ranking in the NL.
