Shohei Ohtani notched the 1,000th hit of his Major League Baseball career in impressive style Wednesday, belting a two-run homer as part of an impressive two-day display that couldn’t get the Los Angeles Dodgers past St. Louis.
In his starting pitcher’s role Ohtani struck out eight and allowed just two infield singles in four dominant innings.
