Which record did Shohei Ohtani break vs Giants? Angels phenom reaches another historic MLB milestone 

Superstar two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani keeps setting records. On Monday night at Angel Stadium, Ohtani swiped his 15th base of the season during the first inning of the Angels' 8-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

He made history by being the first player to have at least 40 home runs and 15 stolen bases through 114 games for his team.

Ohtani smashed his MLB-leading 40th home run on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners, making him the clear favorite to win the AL MVP Award for the second time in three seasons. That day, he also got the start on the mound but exited after four innings due to cramping in his right middle finger.
