On a night when the Los Angeles Dodgers gave out his bobblehead, Shohei Ohtani set a record previously held by Ichiro Suzuki. <\/p>\n
The four-time MVP went 1-for-4 with a walk in the Dodgers’ 8-7 win over the Texas Rangers, to surpass Suzuki for the longest on-base streak in MLB history by a Japanese-born player at 44 straight games.<\/p>\n
Ohtani set the record with his one-out single in the bottom of the fifth. <\/p>\n
The bobblehead giveaway is the first of a two-part event commemorating the “Greatest Game Ever” in celebration of Ohtani’s legendary performance in Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers when he hit three homers and struck out 10 over six shutout innings. <\/p>\n
Part two will of the Ohtani “Greatest Game” bobblehead will be handed out prior to the Dodgers’ game against the Colorado Rockies on July 8. <\/p>\n
Even though Ohtani is often at the center of everything for the Dodgers, Max Muncy stole the show on Friday night with three homers, including a walk-off solo shot in the bottom of the ninth. <\/p>\n
The last time Ohtani didn’t reach base in a game was against the San Diego Padres on Aug. 23, 2025. He went 0-for-4 in four plate appearances. <\/p>\n
