Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani launched his 30th home run of the season on Tuesday night as part of a win against the Chicago White Sox (box score). In the process, Ohtani became the third player to clear the 30-homer mark this season (joining Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh and New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge) and tied a Dodgers franchise record by becoming the second player to tally 30 home runs before the All-Star break.

Shohei Ohtani continued to baffle Royals hitters and baseball fans alike, tossing a pair of scoreless innings in his third start on the mound in a Dodgers uniform. The three-time MVP spoke after the game about what it was like to pitch in his best start of the season so far.

Shohei Ohtani threw the fastest pitch of his MLB career on Saturday, firing a 101.7mph fastball in the first inning of the Dodgers' 9-5 loss to the Royals.
