Shohei Ohtani hit his 30th home run of the season, a remarkable 473-foot blast, during a game against the Dodgers. The home run, which had an exit velocity of 116.7 mph, nearly cleared the roof above the right-field pavilion at Dodger Stadium. This marks the fourth consecutive season Ohtani has reached the 30-home run milestone. The Dodgers were leading 6-2 in the fifth inning when Ohtani's home run occurred. Austin Barnes also contributed with a home run earlier in the game, making it five home runs given up by the opposing pitcher, Crawford.
