Stephenson hits solo home run in loss
Tyler Stephenson hit a solo homer while going 2-for-4 in a loss to the Dodgers on Friday. Stephenson has his fifth homer of the year with his solo shot off James Paxton; one of two the Reds were able to get against Paxton in the loss. So far in May the catcher has registered an .820 OPS, and this makes four straight games for the backstop with extra-base hits. Solid.
Ohtani hits two-run home run
Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run homer to help the Dodgers prevail 7-3 over the Reds on Friday. Ohtani scored twice in the contest. It’s the 13th homer for the 29-year-old, and it came in the third inning with Mookie Betts on base. His first season with the Dodgers have been nothing short of spectacular, as he’s now slashing .358/.426/.676 with 32 RBI to go with those roundtrippers. It’s borderline impossible to offer hyperbole when discussing how good Ohtani is at baseball.
