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: Market Volatility in Asia: Impact of Meta's Losses
- The depreciation of Asian currencies against the U.S. dollar and potential actions by monetary authorities are at the forefront of Asian markets.
- Post-market gains from U.S. tech giant Meta could impact Asian markets as shares dropped by 10% after trading hours.
- Concerns surrounding currencies are escalating as the dollar breached 155.00 yen on Wednesday without any indication of intervention from Japanese authorities. Will Tokyo take action?
- Given the current environment that led to a rare joint statement on exchange rates from the United States, Japan, and South Korea this month, no possibilities can be ruled out.
