Shohei Ohtani made history on Friday by achieving MLB's sixth 40-40 season with a dramatic walk-off grand slam, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. After stealing his 40th base earlier in the game, Ohtani hit his 40th home run off Rays' Colin Poche, joining an elite group that includes Jose Canseco and Barry Bonds. The Dodgers extended their winning streak to five games with Enrique Hernandez also homering and Bobby Miller delivering a strong pitching performance.
In other games, Aaron Judge continued his impressive season by hitting his major league-leading 49th home run in the Yankees' 3-0 win over the Rockies. The Yankees' victory came as the Rockies fell to their third consecutive loss and secured their sixth straight losing season. Meanwhile, the Mariners rallied to a 6-5 win over the Giants in extra innings, with rookie Leo Rivas delivering the game-winning hit in Dan Wilson's managerial debut.
The Orioles secured a dramatic 7-5 win over the Astros with Anthony Santander's eighth-inning grand slam. In contrast, the Diamondbacks cruised to a 12-2 victory over the Red Sox, aided by Eugenio Suarez’s grand slam and five RBIs.
