Blake Snell delivered a dominant performance against the Toronto Blue Jays, achieving a season-high 10 strikeouts in five scoreless innings, helping secure a 9-1 win for the Dodgers.

Ohtani's third straight 40-homer season makes him the first player to accomplish that feat since Khris Davis did it with the Oakland Athletics in 2016-18. It’s become a rare accomplishment, with even mashers like Aaron Judge and Kyle Schwarber falling just short.

Mookie Betts is out on Friday for personal reasons, so you'll have to wait a day to see him send a ball over the Green Monster.

Ohtani's return to the pitching rotation surprised many, especially those who believed he wouldn't return as a two-way player after his second Tommy John surgery.

The Angels have been mired in mediocrity for more than a decade now, despite employing both and Shohei Ohtani at the peak of their powers in that time.

It was a special All-Star in the sense that Kershaw pitched today, and obviously Freddie returning to Atlanta. So in a sense, it was a special occasion for me.

With the current rules, it's pretty difficult to participate in the Home Run Derby. I don't think there's much of a chance for now.
