MIAMI (AP) — Jesús Sánchez doubled twice and drove in three runs, and the Miami Marlins beat Shohei Ohtani and the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers 11-9 on Tuesday night.

Ohtani struck out three times but hit his 48th home run as he tries to become the first player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season. He did not steal a base for the fifth straight game and remains at 48.

All eyes have been on the star as he tries to reach the historic mark. Fans at the Marlins' home stadium cheered his name all evening, but Ohtani said he doesn't necessarily feel any pressure.

“No pressure, just trying to maintain quality at-bats regardless of the situation," he said through an interpreter. "It is something I’ve been trying to do over the course of the entire season.”
