Shohei Ohtani made history on Thursday, and he did so in epic fashion. Ohtani put together a huge game in the Los Angeles Dodgers ’ contest at the Miami Marlins. He was 6-for-6 with three home runs, 10 RBI, two doubles and two stolen bases.
The two stolen bases got him to 51 for the season while his first home run, in the sixth inning, got him to 49. Ohtani came up to the plate in the seventh needing one more home run to become the first 50-50 player ever, and he delivered a bomb to the opposite field: SHOHEI OHTANI HAS DONE IT 50 HOME RUNS | 50 STOLEN BASES HISTORY pic.twitter.
