Among the highlights of Saturday’s loss included Shohei Ohtani extending his league-leading on-base streak to 50 games, as he reached base on a two-out single to right field with the streak in jeopardy.
Manny Randhawa of MLB. com wrote about Dave Roberts’ reaction to Ohtani eclipsing 50 consecutive games reaching base, becoming only the fourth Dodger to do so in team history. “I was hoping he’d get that last at-bat and give him an opportunity to change the game,” manager Dave Roberts said.
“And he found a way to get on base. It was good to see it, and that’s quite the streak. And you’ve got to be pretty dang good to do something like that.
He’s in a class by himself. ” Randhawa also shares the story of both Ohtani and Roberts meeting Momoyo Nakomoto— a 100-year-old Japanese woman who survived the 1945 Nagasaki bombing— before Saturday’s game. “It was really a pleasure meeting her,” Roberts said.
“She was 19 when the a-bomb dropped in Nagasaki. And it’s by a miracle that she lived to tell her story. Just seeing her is a piece of history.
