ANAHEIM, California: Shohei Ohtani can do it all on a baseball field, yet the Japanese two-way sensation had never hit a grand slam as a professional. In my head, I thought I hit one in Japan, but I guess not," Ohtani said through his interpreter. The American League (AL) MVP hit two homers in a game for the second time this season and eighth in the majors. "I wasn't expecting to hit two home runs," Ohtani, who has gone deep six times this season, said. He has 147 in his professional career, including 48 with the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters in five seasons in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball league.
