"The Los Angeles Dodgers blanked the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-0, on Wednesday thanks to southpaw Blake Snell tossing a season-high 12 strikeouts (which he serendipitously did during a Sept. 17 start last season, as well), and home runs from Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani. LA improved to 85-67 on the year. In other news, Ohtani made even more history on Tuesday night, joining elite company."
"Many remember the historic 50-home run/ 50-stolen base club the three-time MVP created last season, but Ohtani did something just as impressive with his 50th long ball of this year. Additionally, to further the greatness of Ohtani, he recently touched on the idea of playing in the outfield for the Dodgers in the postseason. He only played out there seven times as member of the Los Angeles Angels, but has a little more experience back in Nippon Professional Baseball."
Blake Snell pitched seven scoreless innings against the Philadelphia Phillies, recording a season-high 12 strikeouts as the Los Angeles Dodgers won 5-0. Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani supplied home runs in the victory, and the Dodgers improved to 85-67. Ohtani hit his 50th home run of the year, joining elite MLB company for power milestones, and he has expressed openness to playing the outfield for the Dodgers in the postseason. Ohtani played outfield seven times with the Angels and has outfield experience from Nippon Professional Baseball. All-Star catcher Will Smith was placed on the injured list.
