According to Sarah Langs, Ohtani's 79 home runs were the most in Dodgers history by a player to start at least one game on the mound for them.
However, Ohtani and others have now made some other history. According to Langs, only two players in Dodgers history have hit 10 home runs and pitched at least two innings in the same season. That is Ohtani, and none other than the fan favorite, Enrique Hernandez.

'The only 2 players in Dodgers history to hit 10 home runs and pitch at least 2 games in the same season:
'Shohei Ohtani and Kiké Hernández,' she wrote.
Hernandez has come into games for the Dodgers when the team is either being blown out, or is blowing another team out.

It makes sense not to chase regular-season wins, and Dave Roberts understands that. In his five outings this year, he's posted a 15.19 ERA in 9.64 FIP.
For Ohtani, who will actually pitch when games matter, he's been decent this year. That hasn't been ideal given he's only thrown in 2.0 innings due to just returning from the mound, but he's allowed just one earned run in that span, and has struck out two.
If his stuff can continue to play at the level it has, Ohtani and the Dodgers should be just fine over the next few months when games matter most.

Chisholm Jr. homers in 500th game and Yankees reach halfway point with 3-0 victory over A's
Associated Press (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered on the first pitch he saw in his 500th game and the New York Yankees beat the Athletics 3-0 on Friday night to reach the halfway point of the season. Chisholm hit his fifth homer in 21 games since returning from an oblique injury on June 3 and gave the Yankees the lead in the second by driving a cutter from A's starter Mitch Spence (2-3) to the second deck in right field. As he rounded third, the third baseman shrugged his shoulders and did a little shuffle before crossing the plate. Chisholm has 89 homers and 109 stolen bases since debuting with the Miami Marlins on September 1, 2020. The only other players with as many homers and stolen bases through 500 career games are Eric Davis (107, homers, 190 stolen bases) and former Yankee Alfonso Soriano (97 homers, 121 RBIs Cody Bellinger and DJ LeMahieu hit RBI singles as the Yankees reached the halfway point at 47-34, putting them on a 94-win pace. The Yankees were 52-29 at the halfway point last season when they finished with 94 wins and reached the World Series for the first time since 2009. New York rookie starter Will Warren (5-4) survived issuing three walks in the first inning and allowed two hits in five innings. Four relievers followed Warren and Devin Williams got the last three outs for his 11th save to complete New York's ninth shutout. Aaron Judge was walked intentionally for the 18th time this season in the third before Bellinger singled. LeMahieu hit an infield single in the fourth after Paul Goldschmidt reached on catcher's interference. Spence, a former Yankees minor leaguer, allowed three runs and three hits in five innings. The A's lost for the fifth time in six games and were blanked for the sixth time this moment Warren ended a 36-pitch first inning by getting a called third strike on former Yankee Gio Urshela. He ended his 100-pitch outing by stranding runners at first and second in the stat Warren has 39 strikeouts on called third strikes — most in the majors. Up next Athletics LHP JP Sears (5-7, 5.44 ERA) faces Yankees RHP Clarke Schmidt (4-3, 2.84) on Saturday. ___ AP MLB:
