Shohei Ohtani Hammers 55th Homer in Regular-Season Finale
Shohei Ohtani ended his regular season with a flourish on Sunday, swatting a career-high 55th home run in a 6-1 win over the Seattle Mariners. Ohtani's homer, a 412-foot, seventh-inning solo shot off left-hander Gabe Speier, broke the single-season franchise record of 54 HRs he set last year. He also chipped in a single and a double to finish the day 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored. Likely to collect the fourth MVP award of his remarkable career this year, Ohtani finished the regular season hitting .282/.392/.622 with a major league-best 146 runs, 102 RBI, and 20 stolen bases in 727 plate appearances. Not to be forgotten, he also pitched to a 2.87 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP, 62 strikeouts, and nine walks over 47 innings. The future Hall of Famer and the defending World Series champion Dodgers will open a wild-card round series against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday.
