Ohtani Hits 300 But Dodgers Fall | Colorado Rockies News

Shohei Ohtani smashed his 300th career home run — a historic milestone for a Japanese-born player and only the second ever to hit that many homers while pitching — but the Dodgers still fell to the Rockies 4-3. Ohtani’s blast gave LA an early lead, but defensive lapses in the 8th inning, including a mental error by Miguel Rojas, handed the Rockies three unearned runs. Despite the loss, Ohtani’s achievement places him in elite company with Babe Ruth. The Dodgers now turn their focus to bouncing back against the Rockies, while also watching Evan Phillips’ strong return from Tommy John surgery — a promising sign for the bullpen.
