The Dodgers and Astros play a three-game series on a holiday weekend. Los Angeles crowds are not fond of Jose Altuve and his Houston crew.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani launched his 30th home run of the season on Tuesday night as part of a win against the Chicago White Sox (box score). In the process, Ohtani became the third player to clear the 30-homer mark this season (joining Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh and New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge) and tied a Dodgers franchise record by becoming the second player to tally 30 home runs before the All-Star break.

Shohei Ohtani has been selected as a starter for the National League at the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, representing the Los Angeles Dodgers as a designated hitter.
