Shohei Ohtani hit his eighth home run of the season Saturday night and surpassed Dave Roberts' team record for a Japanese-born player, with a solo shot to right-center during the third inning against the Braves.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dave Roberts recently joked that Shohei Ohtani should gift Roberts a Porsche when Ohtani breaks his Dodgers’ record for most home runs by a Japanese-born player. Ohtani obliged, just maybe not in the way Roberts imagined. Before Friday’s game against the Atlanta Braves, the Dodgers’ slugger gifted Roberts a purple toy

Dave Roberts seemed a little conflicted before Sunday’s series finale against the Atlanta Braves in Dodger Stadium. The manager didn’t want to put too much emphasis on an early-May series against a potential playoff opponent, saying, “I just want to win as many games as we can,” but as he sized up a “great” trip in which the Dodgers won seven of nine games and a homestand that began with two wins over the Braves, he changed his tune. “It’s time to get greedy,” Roberts said, “so, yeah, we’re...

The boos rained down before Shohei Ohtani’s name even was announced. They only got louder as he trotted around the bases. Back in December, Blue Jays fans thought they were about to win Ohtani’s free-agent sweepstakes — teased by online reports that the two-way star was flying to Toronto and likely to sign with the Canadian club. Instead, the social media rumors ultimately were debunked. The internet sleuths tracking his supposed private jet turned out to be wrong. And a day after his infamous...
