Los Angeles Dodgers' two-way star Shohei Ohtani celebrated his 30th birthday by facing the Arizona Diamondbacks but ended up striking out three times during the game. Ohtani only managed to get walked in the first inning and stole third base, but his batting average dropped from .319 to .316 as a result. Despite his efforts, the Dodgers lost 3-9, marking their second consecutive defeat. The game also saw Ohtani surpassing a career stolen base milestone with his 103rd stolen base, putting him second in Japanese history, just behind Ichiro Suzuki. Ohtani aims to challenge the record of being the first Japanese player to achieve a .300 batting average, 30 home runs, and 30 stolen bases in a single season.
