With former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara formally charged, Shohei Ohtani is once again strictly concentrating on baseball and becoming a force for the Dodgers.
Ippei Mizuhara entered a courtroom in shackles. Shohei Ohtani flew around Chavez Ravine on wings. On the most sobering, sensational of Fridays, one man’s arrest became another man’s freedom, a simple ballgame serving as a striking example of brilliance unburdened. Just down the street from Dodger Stadium, Ohtani’s longtime interpreter and close colleague Mizuhara surrendered to authorities on charges of stealing more than $16 million from Ohtani to supply his gambling addiction.
The Dodgers hit three more homers, but it was not enough to overcome a blown four-run lead by six Dodger relievers after starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto could only last five innings because he threw 91 pitches. “Overall we put up a good fight,” said Ohtani. He has been putting up a good fight, with an eight-game hitting streak in which he’s batting .457 with four homers, seven doubles and six RBIs. With each Ohtani plate appearance, the appreciative crowd roars even louder.
