His first win at the event marked a major benchmark for his career, on top of leading to the signature milk shower. The next stop of Palou's victory tour was in Queens, where he stopped by Citi Field.

Ohtani is currently batting .296 with 20 home runs, 35 RBIs, 11 stolen bases and a 1.051 OPS. The reigning NL MVP entered Tuesday with a 2.7 WAR through 52 games, and that's without pitching or fielding for a single inning. With two-thirds of the season left to go, Ohtani should have plenty more chances to make history. He even has three more games left to tie or pass Snider and Guerrero atop the Dodgers' single-month home run leaderboards.

The 34-year-old utility man inked a deal with the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, eight days after he was released by the Dodgers. Taylor wasted no time chipping in with his new team, starting in center field against the New York Yankees a few hours later.

If this is the standard we’re setting, the Lakers should have to drop “Los Angeles” from their name if they want to claim their 17 NBA titles.
I just noticed that ever since they rebranded as Athletics they realized they could count the Philadelphia championships https://t.co/MkhuGb3NmU
With the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics over 3 years away, the possibility of MLB players' participation still hasn't been sorted out yet. I talked to @LA28 chairman Casey Wasserman about the process, including how the 2026 @WBCBaseball comes into play: https://t.co/q0VAzYFlm6
