Grand slam secures 40-40 season Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a walk-off grand slam and a stolen base in Friday's 7-3 win over the Rays.
Impact Ohtani entered Friday one homer and one steal shy of securing a 40-40 season. He got the steal out of the way early, swiping second after hitting a single in the fourth inning. The 30-year-old then put together a Hollywood-level encore, taking Colin Poche deep for a walk-off grand slam in the ninth, which was Ohtani's first career walk-off homer. Ohtani is the first Dodger to join the 40-40 club, and in addition to those stellar milestone marks, he's added a .292/.378/.614 slash line with 92 RBI, 97 runs scored, 29 doubles and six triples over 126 contests this year. That said, Ohtani has found less success at the plate in August, batting .209 (18-for-86) this month, though he still has eight homers and 12 steals over his last 20 games.

Logs 39th theft Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base Wednesday in an 8-4 victory over the Mariners.
Impact Ohtani has begun to emerge from a slump that saw him bat .164 over his first 14 games in August -- he's since built a five-game hitting streak during which he's batting .300 with two homers, two RBI and five runs. The slugger has added four thefts during that span to push his total to a career-high 39 in 43 attempts. Ohtani is now one home run and one stolen base away from going 40-40 on the campaign.

Closing in on 40-40 campaign Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a triple and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-3 victory versus Seattle.
Impact Ohtani laced a triple in the third inning and added a single in the eighth. Following his final hit, the slugger swiped second base for his 38th theft of the campaign. Ohtani also has 39 home runs through 124 games, so he appears to be a lock for the sixth 40-40 season in MLB history. He has a legitimate shot at MLB's first 50-50 campaign, as he's currently on pace for 50 homers and 48 thefts.

Belts another homer Ohtani went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 win against St. Louis.
Impact Ohtani slugged his NL-leading 39th homer of the campaign in the fifth inning. It was his second long ball in as many games and his seventh through 16 contests in August. Ohtani is batting only .174 this month, but nine of his 12 hits (seven homers, one double and one triple) have gone for extra bases, and he's racked up excellent counting stats with 12 RBI, 11 runs and nine stolen bases.

Homer, two steals in loss Ohtani went 1-for-3 in Saturday's loss to the Cardinals with a solo homer, two stolen bases and two runs scored while also drawing a walk.
Impact Ohtani drew a leadoff walk to open the contest and stole second before later coming home on a Freddie Freeman single. The slugger would then go on to add a second steal in the third, along with a solo homer in the fifth. It marked Ohtani's third multi-steal effort this month and he's now homered in three of his last six games. However, he's still batting just .171 (11-for-64) in August with six long balls, 10 RBI, eight runs and nine stolen bases.
