44th homer of the season against Arizona
Ohtani started as the first designated hitter in the 2024 MLB Arizona Diamondbacks away game at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona on the 1st (Korea time) and scored one hit in five at-bats (one home run) with two RBIs and one run scored.
Ohtani, who recorded 40 home runs and 40 steals in the league’s minimum game against the Tampa Bay Rays on the 24th of last month, is now heading for an unanswered 50-50 mark.
Ohtani, who is on a steep upward curve, hit home runs in two consecutive games on the day following the game against Arizona the previous day, increasing the number of home runs to 44.
Ohtani, who is still showing off his skills in the first year of his transfer to the Dodgers, has a batting average of 0.294 44 home runs, 98 RBIs, 107 runs and 43 steals for the season.
Ohtani’s home run came at his first batter’s box. As the leadoff hitter in the top of the first inning, Ohtani hit a 128-meter solo shot to the wall off starter Merrill Kelly.
Ohtani’s first-inning leadoff home run is his fifth individual and 11th in his career this season.
There was no on-base hit in the rest of the at-bat.
With the bases loaded with no outs in the second inning, he hit a sacrifice fly to hit an RBI, and in the fourth and sixth innings, he was grounded out with an infield grounder in a row.
He struck out on first base with no outs in the eighth inning, and turned to an outfield fly ball in the ninth inning.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers, which had three consecutive home runs starting with Ohtani in the first inning, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, beat Arizona 8-6.토토사이트 추천
