CHICAGO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani is rolling along for the Los Angeles Dodgers at the moment.
When it comes to the Home Run Derby, well, stay tuned.
Ohtani hit a leadoff drive against the Chicago White Sox for the second straight night on Wednesday, extending his RBI streak to a franchise-record 10 games. The two-time AL MVP is batting .310 (27 for 87) with 11 homers, 23 RBIs and 24 runs in 23 games this month.
“Really my approach is to swing at strikes, and just making sure that my posture and everything else is lined up,” Ohtani said through a translator.
