Shohei Ohtani shatters Dodgers records with epic 3-homer, 10-RBI game vs. Marlins

Shohei Ohtani made baseball history on Thursday with the greatest hitting performance of his career.
The Los Angeles Dodgers slugger went 6-for-6 with three home runs, two stolen bases and 10 RBI in a 20-4 win over the Miami Marlins. It was the first time Ohtani has had six hits in one game, and the 10 RBI is the most any player has had in one game in Dodgers history.
Ohtani started the day off with a double to lead off the game. Later in the inning, he stole third base to get his 50th steal of the season.
In the second inning, Ohtani hit an RBI single that scored Max Muncy and stole second for his 51st steal of the season. The following inning, he hit an RBI double that brought in Gavin Lux and Andy Pages, but he was thrown out trying to stretch the double into a triple.
Then the homer parade began. In the sixth inning, he hit a two-run homer to the second deck of loanDepot Park. It was home run No. 49.

The following inning saw history made. Ohtani hit an opposite field home run to become the charter member of the 50-50 club.
The game was out of reach by the ninth inning, so the Marlins brought in infielder Vidal Bruján to pitch. Ohtani took advantage of the position player pitching by hitting another homer, once again launching it to the second deck of the stadium. He created the 50-50 club, and now he has the 51-51 club.
Other history Ohtani made Thursday:
- Became first MLB player to record six hits, including three home runs, 10 RBI and two stolen bases in one game
- Recorded first three-homer, two-steal game in MLB history
- Set record for most home runs in a season in Dodgers history
- Recorded most RBI in a game in Dodgers history
If there was any blemish on the day, Ohtani fell just short of the cycle. But he's probably fine with that.
