Shohei Ohtani singled and scored in the ninth inning against the Giants on Sunday in San Francisco, giving him 135 runs scored on the season, which leads the majors. That run broke the Los Angeles Dodgers record for most runs scored in a season, set by Ohtani last season.
Ohtani was hitless in his first five at-bats on Sunday, but had a pop fly drop in center field to open the ninth inning, extending his on-base streak to 19 consecutive games. He was plated on a single by Tommy Edman, capping the scoring in the Dodgers’ 10-2 rout of the Giants.
Three Brooklyn players had multiple years of 130 runs scored in the 19th century — George Pinkney (1887-88), Hub Collins (1889-90), and Mike Griffin (1895, 1897). It’s Collins who holds the Dodgers franchise record with 148 runs scored in 1890, the club’s first season in the National League.
As it stands, Ohtani’s 135 runs are tied for eighth-most in a season in Dodgers history, along with second baseman Tom Daly in 1894. Ohtani will need to score almost daily to top Collins; with 13 games remaining on the Dodgers schedule, Ohtani is on pace for 147 runs scored.
