Shohei Ohtani was held homerless for the first time in a week in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 5-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. Ohtani struck out twice, singled, walked and hit a foul popup.
Shohei Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a home run, an RBI, a walk and two runs scored. He has now homered in five straight games, and he's also created some unique baseball history. Per @OptaSTATS on social media: Shohei Ohtani is the first left-handed batter in the modern era (since 1901) with a streak of 5+ straight games with a home run and a streak of 5+ straight games with a stolen base in his MLB career.
Coming out of the All-Star break, all Shohei Ohtani has done is hit dingers. Ohtani tied the Dodgers' franchise record by homering in his fifth straight game on Wednesday afternoon, taking Twins starter Chris Paddack deep for a solo shot in the first inning.
