Los Angeles Dodgers standout Shohei Ohtani made headlines ahead of the MLB All-Star Game. Prior to the event, Ohtani engaged in a exchange with a key player from the San Diego Padres

Shohei Ohtani will lead off as the designated hitter while the National League aims for consecutive All-Star wins for the first time in over a decade.

Dave Roberts will manage the NL All-Stars for a fourth time on Tuesday. The Dodgers skipper welcomes a "respite" as five of his players join him at Atlanta's All-Star festivities.

During a contentious game the Padres won 5-3 on June 19, Suarez hit Ohtani in the shoulder with a 100-mph fastball. He was immediately thrown out of the game, and eventually suspended for two games. After he was hit, Ohtani waved off his dugout, telling them not to enter the field and confront the Padres.

Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow made his usual Monday appearance on KNBR’s “ Murph and Markus ” morning show and broke down the rivalry weekend, which saw the Dodgers take two of the three games against the Giants. But on Saturday, the Giants gave out a Bonds bobblehead to 20,000 fans, leading to an unexpected postgame moment.

Shohei Ohtani and Emmet Sheehan put up strong performances and Tanner Scott gets through the ninth in a 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
