The MLB news today (Sept. 4) has a number of interesting events as things get exciting with playoffs approaching. The defending World Series champions continue their fight as they look to pick up a spot in the playoffs. The Texas Rangers are coming off a huge victory against the New York Yankees.

Wyatt Langford was the hero for the Rangers and saved his team from a defeat in walk-off style. The Rangers were trailing 3-4 with the bases loaded and Clay Holmes on the mound. With a single swing, Langford shattered the Yankees with a deep grand slam. Holmes surrendered the grand slam at the bottom of the ninth inning.

Grady Sizemore gets his first ejection in MLB for the White Sox

The Chicago White Sox's interim manager, Grady Sizemore, seems to be standing up for his team despite being eliminated from the playoffs. It was Sizemore's first MLB ejection for the White Sox as a manager. The White Sox were playing the second game of their series against the Baltimore Orioles.

During the sixth inning, Andrew Benintendi was out for a strike-three call, which seemed to be a little above the plate. Home-plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt ejected Sizemore and Benintendi. Sizemore walked out to the field and had a heated argument with the umpire.

The White Sox dropped their game against the Orioles with a 9-0 final score.

Shohei Ohtani receives warm welcome at Angel Stadium

MLB star Shohei Ohtani and the LA Dodgers opened a short two-game series against the LA Angels. Ohtani returned to Angel Stadium for the first time after he was traded to the Dodgers.

The two-way star received a warm welcome and a standing ovation from Angels fans. Ohtani had been a part of the Angels for six years before moving to the Dodgers. His support for the Halos has been well-noted during his stint. Fans were pleased to see Ohtani enter the stadium where he achieved several milestones.

Angel Stadium also had a huge graphic on their scoreboard that read "welcome back Shohei Ohtani." They also listed all his achievements underneath. During his game against the Angels, Ohtani was intentionally walked. The Dodgers defeated their opponents with a 6-2 final score.
