海外「大谷翔平38号ソロ本塁打を放つ」

Dodgers’ Shohei Otani (30) played as “No. 1 DH” for the Cardinals in the enemy’s territory and hit his 38th solo home run in the third at-bat in the fifth inning. He made his first arch in a game against the Cardinals, the only major team out of all 30 teams to hit a home run, and finally achieved the first “all-team championship” in Japanese history.

In addition, Otani, the top player in the home run championship league, widened his gap to three at this point with his rival, Braves M. Ozuna (33).

In the fifth inning, 1-3 and 2-point behind-the-scenes, he went to bat with two outs and no runners. A knuckle curve is swung from a count 1-1 against the starting N. Palante (25), and the liner-like ball goes over the head of L. Nutbar (26), who protects the light. His first shot in four games was a home run with a batting speed of 180 kilometers and a low ballistic distance of 117 meters. When he walked in his first at-bat and ran away in his second at-bat, he stole bases and marked his 37th stolen base of the season.

Otani Closer to ’40th base hit – 40 stolen bases’ for 6th time in history

With this, Otani increased his RBIs from 86 to 87 and chased Ozuna, the top RBIs, in second place. The day before, he had no hits in 5 at-bats, and in August, he had 10 hits in 61 at-bats in 14 games, but his sixth home run caught up with the number of hits in July.

Expectations are high for achieving various records with 39 games left this season, including this day.
