The American League MVP race will come down to Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge, and while the New York Yankees slugger is nearing a home-run record, Ohtani achieved a milestone Wednesday that put him in a club of just one.

Ohtani became the first player in Major League Baseball history to hit 30 home runs and record 10 pitching wins in a single season. He helped the Los Angeles Angels top the Yankees 3-2 to take the series over one of the best teams in baseball.

He finished the series against the Yankees 5-for-12 with two home runs and five RBI.

"It definitely leads to motivation for me to do better. I mean trying to go for that hardware," he told reporters through an interpreter. "It’s something that I think about for the most part, but I try to take it game by game and then count it all up."

Ohtani also became the first Japanese-born player to hit 30 home runs in consecutive seasons.
