After Shohei Ohtani's triple play, he hit a go-ahead home run, but the Dodgers were reversed by the Angels, extending their losing streak to six games against them.

Dodgers' Japanese star Shohei Ohtani made a triple play today and hit a go-ahead solo home run in the top of the ninth inning, achieving a home run in four consecutive games. His 43rd home run of the season also placed him back at the top of the National League home run leaderboard. Nevertheless, the Dodgers lost to the Angels 6-7, marking their third straight defeat and a six-game losing streak against the Angels across seasons. Their lead in the National League West was matched by the Padres, who are on a four-game winning streak, with both teams having a record of 68 wins and 52 losses.

Just two days ago, Shohei Ohtani was struck out due to chasing bad pitches at a crucial moment, which drew some criticism from manager Dave Roberts. Recently, Roberts mentioned in an interview with Japanese media that he is concerned that Ohtani "might be swinging too hard," leading to an increase in strikeouts. However, today, Ohtani reached base by drawing walks in his first two at-bats, scoring one run for the Dodgers.

After the first five innings, the score was tied at 5-5. In the top of the sixth inning, Dodgers' Miguel Rojas and Dalton Rushing hit consecutive singles, putting Ohtani at bat with no outs and runners on first and second.

Facing left-hander Brock Burke, Shohei Ohtani hit a little fly ball that went over the pitcher's head, but it was caught by Zach Neto, who was stationed near second base. Neto then stepped on second base, tagging Rojas who was trying to return, and quickly threw to first base, where Nolan Schanuel tagged out Rushing, completing a triple play.

This marked the eighth triple play in Angels' history. According to "Sportsnet Stats," Shohei Ohtani became the first reigning MVP to hit a triple play in nearly sixty years, the last being American League MVP Brooks Robinson in 1964, who hit a triple play on August 18, 1965 (U.S. time).

At the moment of the triple play, Ohtani's expression was one of disbelief. However, in his fifth at-bat in the top of the ninth, as the first batter, he launched a ball off Kenley Jansen into right field, with an exit velocity of 114.8 mph and a distance of 404 feet. At that moment, Ohtani smiled.

However, in the bottom of the ninth, after Alex Vesia took over pitching for the Dodgers, the Angels quickly threatened with hits and walks, advancing to scoring positions with no outs. The Angels then executed a sacrifice bunt to move runners to second and third. The Dodgers intentionally walked Neto to load the bases, and Schanuel hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game, bringing it to 6-6 and forcing extra innings.

In the top of the tenth, the Dodgers did not score. In the bottom of the tenth, facing a ground ball from Christian Moore that seemed to roll foul but came back fair, resulting in a lucky hit. With runners on first and third, Jo Adell hit a little fly ball that just cleared the infield, resulting in a walk-off hit.
