LOS ANGELES — Any thoughts about Shohei Ohtani entering a prolonged batting slump can be put to rest.
The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar had a day at the plate on Saturday that has happened only three times since 1909.The Japanese slugger went 2 for 2 with two RBIs in the Dodgers 5-3 win over the Brewers. Shohei Ohtani AFP PHOTOThat seems pedestrian until seeing that Ohtani had a home run, triple, two walks, was hit by a pitch and a stolen base in five plate appearances.According to MLB, Ohtani is the third player with a home run, triple, walk, hit by pitch and stolen base in a game.
Before Saturday, the last Dodger with a triple, walk, hit by pitch and stolen base in a game was Jackie Robinson on July 16, 1953, against the St. Louis Cardinals.Ohtani struck out in six straight at-bats Thursday and Friday, and was 1 for 12 in his last three games coming into Saturday. He was 0 for 5 on Friday on his 30th birthday.
