Shohei Ohtani’s return to the mound at Angel Stadium wasn’t just another start on the calendar — it was a collision of past and present, played out under the familiar orange glow of a Southern California summer night.

Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday in the third game of their series at Angel Stadium.

Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani honestly shared his thoughts on Los Angeles losing its grip on the No. 1 spot in the NL West standings.

Shohei Ohtani yielded four runs on five hits while pitching a season-high 4 1/3 innings, but Logan O'Hoppe delivered a two-run single in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Angels swept the season Freeway Series with a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani is normally used to hitting long home runs, but the MLB star found himself in a weird position against the Angels.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani makes MLB history once again, accomplishing a feat that has not been done in 125 years.
