Angels Turn Triple Play Against Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani in Extra Innings Loss

During a tense game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Angels, Shohei Ohtani experienced a rare and unfortunate moment by hitting into a triple play, a first in his career and a rare feat for a reigning MVP. The triple play was executed by Angels shortstop Zach Neto, who caught Ohtani's line drive, stepped on second base, and threw to first to complete the play, significantly impacting the Dodgers' win probability. Despite this, Ohtani redeemed himself by hitting a dramatic 404-foot solo home run in the ninth inning, giving the Dodgers a temporary lead. However, the Angels rallied back, eventually winning 7-6 in 10 innings, marking their sixth consecutive victory over the Dodgers. The triple play was noted as one of the rarest and most electric moments in baseball, with Ohtani becoming only the second MVP to hit into one. This game added to the Dodgers' struggles against their southern rivals, leaving them winless in the season series at 0-5.
