The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani is baseball’s fastest 40-40 man. The Japanese superstar blasted a two-out grand slam in the ninth inning for his 40th homer after earlier stealing his 40th base, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night. Ohtani achieved the feat in his 126th game and the team’s 129th, the quickest in major league history and sixth ever to reach 40 homers and 40 stolen bases in a season. He’s also the first Dodgers player to do so. “It’s really more about the winning,” Ohtani said through an interpreter. “Obviously the record is part of the process but I think the most important thing is about winning the game.”

Milwaukee, WI

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Rhys Hoskins and Joey Ortiz hit back-to-back home runs in a five-run second inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Oakland Athletics 11-3 on Friday night. The Brewers, who have won seven of nine, sent nine batters to the plate in the second to take a 5-1 lead. Hoskins, who entered the game hitless in his last 21 at-bats, put Milwaukee in front with a three-run blast after Willy Adames and Gary Sánchez led off the inning with singles. On the next pitch, Ortiz homered to left-center. Andruw Monasterio later added the fifth run, scoring from first on a single by Jackson Chourio that went under the glove of A’s left fielder Miguel Andujar. “It’s nice to jump on a team on the road early,” Hoskins said. “It puts you ahead of the eight ball a little bit, get some confidence for the pitcher to go out there and fill up the zone.” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that while hitting might be contagious, it still comes down to “swinging at the right pithces”
