Shohei Ohtani had quite a game on his bobblehead night. Two home runs, six runs.
Then Jhonny Pereda struck him out .
The Athletics' backup catcher faced Ohtani in the eighth inning Thursday night.
Pereda gave up three straight hits against the bottom of the Dodgers' order. With Los Angeles leading 17-2, Ohtani came up with a chance to pile on.
Pereda's first four pitches to the Japanese superstar were between 62 and 68 mph. Ohtani took a called first strike and later fouled off another pitch.
