Shohei Ohtani went 2-for-3 with two home runs and two walks on Saturday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 11-5 at Dodger Stadium.

With the win, the Dodgers are now 42-29, and they moved back into first place in the National League West. The Giants are now 41-30 and in second place.

With the big night, Ohtani continued to make baseball history that we've never seen before, according to @OptaSTATS:

Players with 25+ home runs, 10+ stolen bases & 5+ triples before July in a season, MLB history:

The reigning National League MVP, Ohtani is hitting .290 with 25 homers and 41 RBIs, to go along with his 11 stolen bases. He has a .385 on-base percentage and is among the most feared hitters in the entire league.

An eight year veteran of the Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers, he's got 250 career home runs and is a three-time MVP. He joins Frank Robinson as one of only two players in baseball history to win the MVP Award in both leagues.

Ohtani will get a chance to do more special things on Sunday when the Dodgers and Giants wrap up their series at 7:10 p.m. ET.

Right-hander Dustin May will take the ball for Los Angeles as he continues his comeback season from Tommy John surgery. He's gone 3-4 with a 4.46 ERA, while left-hander Kyle Harrison goes for San Francisco.

He's 1-1 with a 4.56 ERA as a fill-in in the rotation.
