Fitzgerald homers in third straight game
Tyler Fitzgerald homered in a third straight game and walked against the Rockies on Sunday. Fitzgerald has as many homers in his last three games, dating back to July 9, as he did in his previous 44 appearances as a major leaguer. Saturday’s homer came in his first start in eight games and earned him a rare start against a righty today; he had played exclusively against lefties since being recalled last month. The Giants will probably give him more time at the expense of Brett Wisely and Thairo Estrada while he remains hot.
Ohtani reaches 30-home run mark
Shohei Ohtani crushed his 30th home run of the season on Sunday night, leading the Dodgers to a 9-6 victory over the visiting Red Sox. Ohtani absolutely pulverized a 2-1 cutter from Kutter Crawford for a 473-foot (116.7-mph EV) solo shot in the fifth inning that increased the Dodgers’ lead to 6-2. It was the fifth and final home run that the Dodgers hit off of Crawford in the contest. Ohtani also walked and struck out in the ballgame, finishing the night 1-for-3. On the season, he’s slashing a ridiculous .315/.401/.638 with the aforementioned 30 long balls, 70 RBI and 23 stolen bases. Simply staggering offensive production across the board.
