On Monday, the Los Angeles Dodgers took on the Washington Nationals at the Nationals Park. The home side would poke some fun at the MLB social media team for bias treatment as they came out on top in this game.

In the game, the Nationals took a 2-0 leading in the bottom of the 2nd inning through some poor defensive plays from the Dodgers. The reigning World Series champions came back from that with a 2-run home run from Shohei Ohtani.

Just like every other league, the MLB posted the clip of Ohtani’s two-run shot. They would type everything in capitalization.

This was something that the Nationals did not like. They would hilariously chip back the league’s official account and asked them to show the highlight of Dylan Crews. The Nationals star hit an RBI double to open the scoring for his team.

Later in the match, the Nationals had a 2-run home run of their own as James Wood connected one to left center field. This time the league would announce this home run normally without any capitalization.

Shohei Ohtani’s near-cycle unable to save LA Dodgers from losing 3rd game of the season

A few days ago, Shohei Ohtani was the star of the show as his walk-off home run helped the Los Angeles Dodgers sweep the Atlanta Braves and extend their record to 8-0. He was once again the offensive star for the team on Monday. However, this time he was unable to save the team from losing.

He started off with a single through an infield hit before launching a 2-run home run to tie the game. His third hit of the game was a triple as his shot bounced off the center field wall in the 5th inning. This turned out to be his 2nd 3-hit game this season.

In his next two at-bats, he struck out in the 8th inning and then drew a walk in the ninth inning. As a result of this, he went 3-for-4 with 1 home run and 2 RBI, falling one double shy of the cycle.

This season, Ohtani is once again batting with an average over .300. In the 12 games he has played, he is 14-for-45 with 4 home runs, 5 RBI, 1 double and 1 triple while hitting at .311 average. As for the Dodgers, they have now lost 3 of their last 4 games and have fallen to 3rd in the NL West standings.
