On an 0–2 count Tuesday against Milwaukee Brewers fireballer Jacob Misiorowski, Ohtani turned an 88 mph curveball into a 431-foot home run—his 31st home run of the season. That gave him the Dodgers' all-time record for home runs before the All-Star break.

Shohei Ohtani officially holds another Los Angeles Dodgers record. He has hit more home runs before the All-Star break than any player in franchise history. Cody Bellinger previously held the record, having gone deep 30 times before the break in his MVP 2019 season. But on Tuesday night, Ohtani launched his 31st homer of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani launched his 30th home run of the season on Tuesday night as part of a win against the Chicago White Sox (box score). In the process, Ohtani became the third player to clear the 30-homer mark this season (joining Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh and New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge) and tied a Dodgers franchise record by becoming the second player to tally 30 home runs before the All-Star break.
