Quick Glance: Shohei Ohtani Sets New Record for Most MLB Homers
- Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani has broken the record for the most homers hit by a Japanese-born player in Major League Baseball.
- During a game at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani hit an impressive homer that flew into the right field bleachers off pitcher Adrian Houser of the New York Mets.
- With this homer, which was Ohtani's 176th in his six years in the MLB, he surpassed Matsui, who played the final 10 years of his 20-year pro career in North America.
- Ohtani's record-breaking blast traveled 423 feet and put the Dodgers ahead 2-0. Prior to this, Ohtani had not hit a homer in seven consecutive games.

- Despite underperforming, the Giants show potential for a turnaround with a strong rotation and standout players like Bailey. However, their playoff spot is not guaranteed.
- The Mets staged an impressive recovery after a rocky start, but doubts linger about the sustainability of their success. New surprise players and managerial skills suggest a better season ahead, yet concerns exist regarding rotation and defense.

Quick Glance: Ohtani leads Dodgers to dominant win over sliding Blue Jays
- Ohtani shakes off some of the loudest boos at Rogers Centre to homer in the first inning and later walk and score during a six-run third for the Los Angeles Dodgers' fifth straight win.
- The Dodgers banged out 19 hits, including additional homers by Max Muncy and Will Smith, while knocking out Chris Bassitt in 2.2 innings, forcing manager John Schneider to run through five relievers before asking Isiah Kiner-Falefa to pitch the ninth.
- The Blue Jays pursued the two-way superstar Ohtani intensely, but he ultimately chose the Dodgers, prompting the Blue Jays to shift their approach and focus on internal options like Addison Barger.
- The Dodgers are in a league of their own in many ways, while the Blue Jays continue to work on their offense to get out of their current slump.

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond
- Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.
- Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.
- United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.
- On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.
