LOS ANGELES — Any thoughts about Shohei Ohtani entering a prolonged batting slump can be put to rest. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar had a day at the plate on Saturday that has happened only three times since 1909. The Japanese slugger went 2 for 2 with two RBIs in the Dodgers 5-3 win over the Brewers. That seems pedestrian until seeing that Ohtani had a home run, triple, two walks, was hit by a pitch and a stolen base in five plate appearances. According to MLB, Ohtani is the third player with a home run, triple, walk, hit by pitch and stolen base in a game.
