Overview
- Ohtani homered in five consecutive games to match a Dodgers mark first set by Max Muncy in 2019 and join a club led by legends such as Adrian González and Ken Campanella.
- His solo blast in the first inning on July 23 marked his 37th of the season, moving him past Eugenio Suárez to lead the National League.
- Freddie Freeman delivered a two-out, two-run RBI single in the ninth inning to secure Los Angeles’s 4–3 victory over the Minnesota Twins.
- Only three players—Dale Long, Don Mattingly and Ken Griffey Jr.—have hit homers in eight straight games, the MLB benchmark Ohtani can now challenge.
- The Dodgers travel to Fenway Park with Ohtani three games shy of the major-league record for consecutive games with a home run.
