CNN —Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani stole his 49th base of the season on Wednesday night to move to within one steal and two home runs of an unprecedented 50-50 season.
“I was hoping for a bad throw because a good throw gets him,” said Roberts after the game, according to MLB.com.
Ohtani is also just one home run away from matching the Dodgers franchise record of 49, set by Shawn Green in 2001.
Once Knack was replaced with Dodgers debutant Zach Logue, the Marlins struck back with three runs in the fifth.
Ten regular season games remain for Ohtani to reach the unprecedented 50-50 mark, and the Dodgers can confirm their ticket to the postseason with a win against the Marlins on Thursday night.
