Ohtani has 2 hits to close on batting leader Arraez in Triple Crown bid as Dodgers beat Rockies 13-2

Associated Press  

DENVER — Shohei Ohtani had two hits and raised his average to.310 in his bid to overtake batting leader Luis Arraez and become the National League’s first Triple Crown winner since 1937, helping the playoff-bound Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 13-2 on Saturday night. “It’s very unlikely but I would expect Arraez to play tomorrow,” manager Dave Roberts said of Ohtani overtaking Arraez. “Hopefully he can get six hits like in Miami so he can at least compete and battle for the batting title and a Triple Crown,” Hernández said, thinking back to Ohtani’s three-homer, 10-RBIs game on Sept. 19. “For me if I get the opportunity I’m going to try my best, not only for the 100 RBIs but for the run for the team.” Yoshinobu Yamamato allowed two runs and four hits over five innings while striking out six, earning his first win since beating the Rockies on June 1.
