Shohei Ohtani had a rough night Friday against the Brewers. He made up for it Saturday. He walked twice, got hit by a pitch, smacked a triple, and then hammered his 28th home run of the season to push Los Angeles' lead to 5-3 in the bottom of the eighth.
His 28th homer puts him ahead of Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson for second in MLB. Ohtani is now just four behind Yankees slugger Aaron Judge for the league lead.
Ohtani is also pacing the National League ahead of Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna who has 23 long balls.
