During the Blue Jays’ stunning 11-4 victory on Friday, the crowd chanted “We don’t need him!” shouted the slogan. He’s referring to Ohtani rejecting a recruiting offer from the Blue Jays when he joins the Dodgers in the winter of 2023.
Ohtani didn’t get a hit until Saturday’s eighth inning, but it was a big hit because it helped the Dodgers extend their lead from 3-1 to 5-1.
