Shohei Ohtani announced the birth of his second child in an Instagram post. After missing time for the birth, Ohtani returned to the Dodgers lineup and led off the bottom of the ninth with a solo home run off Andrew Kittredge in the June 20 game against Baltimore. The 413 foot, 114.6 mph blast was his 16th homer of the season and cut Baltimore's lead to 3-1. The personal milestone paired with an immediate late-inning impact underscores Ohtani's elite power and gives Los Angeles a timely morale boost down the stretch.
