[Shohei Ohtani, June 30th, local news]Huge cheers from fans! Strong candidate for monthly MVP

On the 30th (July 1st Japan time), Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (29) started as leadoff hitter and designated hitter in the away game against the Giants. He was hitless in five at-bats, including two strikeouts, bringing his consecutive game hitting streak to an end at four. Although he ended the final game of June without any good results, he hit 12 home runs and had 24 RBIs in June, making him a strong candidate to win the Monthly MVP award for the fifth time overall, the most for a Japanese player. The team was completely defeated 4-10, their third double-digit loss this season.
