Shohei Ohtani hit a record-equaling 175th home run in Major League Baseball on Friday night - just hours after his former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara appeared in court over allegations he stole $16million from the Dodgers star. Ohtani tied Hideki Matsui for the most homers by a Japan-born player with a solo shot during the first inning of Los Angeles' game against the San Diego Padres. The $700million superstar drove an elevated outside fastball from Michael King 403ft into the center-field stands with one out, closing the Dodgers to 2-1. It was his fourth homer for the Dodgers in eight games.

Fans on both directions of the Pacific Ocean are still reeling from Shohei Ohtani's stunning marriage announcement, which came out of the proverbial left field on Thursday morning. Despite continuous surveillance from American and Japanese media, the Los Angeles Dodgers' $700 million star wasn't suspected of dating anyone. Naturally, Ohtani's admission on social media that he is now married was an undeniable surprise to those who have followed his thrilling journey from Japan's Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters to the Los Angeles Angels and then, the Dodgers. And the fact that he didn't reveal his new partner only added to the intrigue. Babe Ruth referred to his new companion as "someone from my hometown country of Japan," but left this individual as a complete mystery otherwise. If not for Hideki Matsui, the legendary former New York Yankees slugger regarded to many as Godzilla, the situation would have been completely unfamiliar to baseball fans.
