During Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels, Ohtani found himself in a very typical position at home plate and runners on base, however, the Dodgers phenom encountered a result while at bat that he's not accustomed to.

Instead of driving in the runners, which Ohtani has done 79 times this season, the Japanese star hit into a triple play for the first time in his career. Meanwhile, it was unforunate for Ohtani as well because he's now the second MVP winner to fall victim to a triple play, joining Brooks Robinson.
