Los Angeles Dodgers’ two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani achieved two major milestones in the same week, adding to one of the most productive seasons of his career. Ohtani recorded the 1,000th hit of his Major League career with a 440-foot two-run home run (his 39th of the season) against the St.

Shohei Ohtani led off the game with his 41st homer, but Ernie Clement hit the tiebreaking homer leading off the ninth inning, and the AL-leading Toronto Blue Jays hung on to avoid a series sweep with a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

The two-way Japanese star reached 40 homes for the fourth time in his career, after winning MVP awards in each of the previous three years he did it. Last year, Ohtani hit a career-high 54 home runs in winning the National League MVP in his first year with the Dodgers.
