Shohei Ohtani's first appearance with his new team came after he only took two at-bats in a Dodger uniform, much to the delight of his new bride's visit to the season opener at Gocheok Sky Dome on Wednesday. In Major League Baseball's Seoul Series, the Japanese sensation rifled a slider off countryman Yu Darvish's to the right field for a single single. His new wife, Japanese basketball player Mamiko Tanaka, was seen exchanging high fives with a few people seated around her, all of whom were wearing Dodger hats and jerseys, before she was snapped quickly by ESPN cameras. 'She's a big story because Shohei was in certain circles,' ESPN's Karl Ravech wrote of Tanaka, whose identity was closely guarded until last week, when Ohtani posted a snapshot of the couple on Instagram.'

Triston Casas, the Boston Red Sox's first baseman, was asked about his late mother after their Mother's Day match with the St. Louis Cardinals in a highly emotional moment. Casas was asked a question about his late mother as he manned the field during Sunday's game when participating in an on-field interview with the ESPN broadcast team. During a ESPN broadcast, Karl Ravech mumbled, 'I know your mother died when you were young.' 'What does Mother's Day mean to you and your brother?'
