Shohei Ohtani record his 52nd homer and 52nd stolen base Friday night, breaking Rickey Henderson's major league record with his 14th game with at least one of each.
The win reduced the National League West-leading Dodgers' magic number to four to clinch the division. Los Angeles is already assured of a postseason berth.
Ohtani's 52nd homer and 52nd stolen base allowed him to break the previous season mark of 13 games with at least one of each set by Rickey Henderson in 1986 with thehit a go-ahead homer -- his 30th -- leading off the sixth inning that gave the Dodgers a 4-3 lead. He and Ohtani have homered in the same game 11 times.
"It's great being a teammate with Shohei, especially because of the things he's been doing this year," Hernández said."To be able to cover that ball at the top of the zone, above the zone, go to the big part of the field, it's pretty spectacular," Roberts said.
