Dodgers' Roberts: Shohei Ohtani's Grand Slam to Clinch 40-40 Club Was 'Storybook'

Shohei Ohtani became the sixth player in MLB history to have a 40-40 season, joining the club in spectacular fashion with a walk-off grand slam in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 7-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters after the game it was a "storybook" moment for Ohtani to make history in that manner.

"It's just storybook—40-40 on the same night," Roberts said. "I don't know if that's ever been done, and then he wins it with a grand slam. He's definitely known for the dramatics, and this was something I'll remember for a long time.
