Dodgers’ Dalton Rushing Hits Massive Grand Slam After Shohei Ohtani’s Pregame Challenge
The Los Angeles Dodgers' Dalton Rushing smashed his first career grand slam after promising Shohei Ohtani he'd hit a homer.
With Shohei Ohtani pitching but not hitting against the Mets Wednesday night, Dalton Rushing got to fill in as designated hitter. He did so, though, with a challenge from the two-way superstar. “Twenty minutes before first pitch, he said, ‘Hey, go hit a home run today,'” Rushing recounted after the game to Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain.
“I said, ‘Alright Sho. I got you. ’ Sure enough, it happened in the last at bat.
” Dalton Rushing said that Shohei Ohtani told him to hit a home run before the game and Rushing responded by hitting a Grand Slam: "20 minutes before first pitch he said: Hey, go hit a home run today. I said alright Sho. I got you.
