Shohei Ohtani Makes Wild History as Los Angeles Dodgers Drop Series Opener to D-backs

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost 5-3 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night at Chase Field.

Los Angeles is now 25-13 and in first place in the National League West, while the D-backs are 20-18 and in fourth.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto took the loss for LA, going five innings and allowing five earned runs. He walked one and struck out four. He's now 4-3 with a 1.80 ERA. Brandon Pfaadt earned the win for Arizona after going 6.1 scoreless innings.

Shohei Ohtani went 1-for-5 with his 11th home run of the season, but it wasn't enough. However, the blast did put Ohtani at the forefront of some very unique baseball history, per @OptaSTATS:

Current MLB ranks for Shohei Ohtani:

HR: t-4th (11)
XBH: t-5th (21)
TB: 4th (89)
RBI: t-96th (16)

It's the first time any player has been in the top 5 in MLB in HR, XBH & TB but outside the top 90 in RBI at the end of any day in May or later (since RBI became official in 1920).
