Ties Ichiro’s On-Base Record Amid Pitching Controversy

Shohei Ohtani has tied Ichiro Suzuki's record for the longest on-base streak by a Japan-born player at 43 games. While pursuing historic milestones with the Dodgers, Ohtani remains at the center of controversy as the Blue Jays renewed complaints regarding his warm-up pitch routine. On the mound, he recently tossed six innings of one-run ball against Toronto, though he went hitless at the plate in that same contest. The Dodgers continue to manage his unique two-way workload.
