Shohei Ohtani hits his 48th homer (to go with 48 steals), but another poor outing by Bobby Miller sinks the Dodgers.
As his march toward history has neared its final destination in recent weeks, Shohei Ohtani has tried to side-step all the chatter surrounding his chase for 50-50. 'It's something I will look back on at the end of the season,” the Dodgers slugger, who is attempting to become the first player in Major League Baseball history with 50 home runs and 50 steals in the same season, said last week. “I'm trying to be less cognizant of it .” His manager, however, is calling his bluff.
In Dodger land, the only number that mattered in the wake of Tuesday’s loss was three –– the number of games they are currently leading the San Diego Padres in the National League West. To the rest of the baseball world, Ohtani’s 402-foot, upper-deck blast was the biggest story, moving him another step closer to 50-50 history. With 11 games to go this season, Ohtani now needs just two more long balls and stolen bases to achieve the once unthinkable milestone.
