Shohei Ohtani hits 46th homer to tie career high on sweltering day at Dodger
Stadium
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani hit his 46th home run of the season to tie
his career high, a 450-foot solo shot down the right-field line in the fifth
inning of the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the Cleveland Guardians on a
sweltering Sunday.
On a day that matched the hottest Dodger Stadium first-pitch temperature at 103
degrees, Ohtani connected off Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee. The homer was
reviewed to see if it was fair.
Ohtani also hit 46 home runs in 2021 for the Los Angeles Angels in his
unanimous AL MVP season. The Japanese star has 46 stolen bases in a bid to
become the first major league player with a 50-50 season.
It also was 103 for first pitch for Game 1 of the 2017 World Series against
Houston.
