Shohei Ohtani looked his manager in the eye and in just a few words, left no doubt of his intentions.

"I'll finish it," Angels manager Phil Nevin recalled Ohtani telling him after the eighth inning of what became the two-way superstar's first complete game in Major League Baseball. "He wanted it. I could see it, too."

Ohtani polished off his one-hit shutout of the Tigers, then continued his extraordinary day in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader, hitting two homers to increase his major-league-leading total to 38 before leaving the game with cramps.

Wearing Oakland green and gold and Giants orange and black, thousands of fans from both sides of the bay stood together to protest the Athletics' planned move to Las Vegas during San Francisco's 2-1 victory Tuesday night.

When he grew up dreaming about his first day in the major leagues, Sal Frelick never bothered imagining a scenario quite as remarkable as the debut he produced Saturday night.

"I think this blew it out of the water," Frelick said after going 3-for-3, driving in the go-ahead run and making two outstanding catches in the Milwaukee Brewers' 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves.

Shohei Ohtani allowed four homers for the first time in his major league career while pitching six-hit ball into the seventh inning and earning the mound victory in the Los Angeles Angels' 8-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.

Elly De La Cruz became the first Reds player since 1919 to steal second, third and home in the same inning, the latest electrifying feat from the franchise-changing rookie.

De La Cruz broke a 5-5 tie with the Milwaukee Brewers in the seventh inning with a two-out RBI single off Elvis Peguero, then got to work making the reliever's life miserable. 

Matt Manning wasn't upset about being pulled while pitching a no-hitter.

He said he didn't even realize it until someone told him in the dugout.

"I had no idea," he said. "I was like, 'well, dang,'"

By the time the game was over, everyone at Comerica Park knew what Manning and relievers Jason Foley and Alex Lange had achieved.

Foley and Lange finished what Manning started, and the Tigers no-hit the Toronto Blue Jays in a 2-0 win on Saturday.

Nobody has had a first half of the season like Ronald Acuna Jr.

Atlanta's four-time All-Star outfielder made history Monday night by becoming the first player to reach 20 home runs, 40 stolen bases and 50 RBIs before the All-Star break.

"Special player," Braves manager Brian Snitker said after Atlanta extended its winning streak to nine straight and moved 30 games over .500 by beating the Cleveland Guardians 4-2.
