For most of their Thursday night contest against the San Diego Padres, it didn’t seem as though the Los Angeles Dodgers were going to clinch the NL West title, setting themselves up for a nervy finish to the 2024 regular season.

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani hit a ground-rule double against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday, breaking the franchise record for single-season extra-base hits.

Shohei Ohtani set a major league record by homering and stealing a base in the same game for the 14th time and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the last-place Colorado Rockies 6-4. Ohtani’s 52nd homer and 52nd stolen base allowed him to break the previous mark of 13 games set by Rickey Henderson in 1986 with the New York Yankees.

Shohei Ohtani goes two for three with a double, a walk, two RBIs and his 56th stolen base as Dodgers defeat Padres.

Fans can buy game-used dirt from Opening Day and from when Ohtani passed Hideki Matsui for the most home runs by a Japanese-born player.

Shohei Ohtani continued rising to the moment and Gavin Lux also was among those who delivered for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a key 4-3 win over the San Diego Padres.

Shohei Ohtani set a new Dodgers franchise record for extra-base hits during a 4-2 loss to the Padres. In his first season with the Dodgers, Ohtani continues to impress, breaking records and gearing up for his first postseason experience in L.
