Did Shohei Ohtani have the best game in MLB history? Here are the records for most hits, RBIs in a game
Shohei Ohtani nearly made baseball history in more ways than one on Thursday.
Sure, he became the first player in Major League Baseball history with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season. But had he been able to get up to the plate one more time, other records might have been matched or broken.
Ohtani went 6-for-6 with three home runs, 10 RBIs, four runs scored and two stolen bases in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 20-4 win over the Miami Marlins.
In what is arguably the greatest offensive single season in MLB history , Ohtani produced what could be the most impressive single-game state line.
Here's a look at some other baseball records he flirted with during his historic performance on Thursday.
