Shohei Ohtani hears rare boos from spurned Blue Jays fans - then hits a ...
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.

Four things to know about new Orioles pitcher Corbin Burnes
Quick Glance: Orioles on Verge of Acquiring 2021 Cy Young Winner Corbin Burnes from Brewers: Sources
  • The Brewers are anticipated to receive a package of young players.

  • The move comes as a surprise, as the Brewers looked to solidify their status as NL Central contenders when they signed a two-year, $34 million contract with the first baseman.

  • Burnes joins an existing rotation that includes two standout starters from last season.

  • It is uncertain whether the trade of Burnes will prompt further moves for the Brewers, potentially shifting them more into a building mode in Pat Murphy’s first year as the replacement for Craig Counsell as manager. Williams is under club control for two seasons after recently agreeing to a one-year, $7.25 million contract with a $10.5 million club option for 2025.
