Shohei Ohtani might be the best baseball player on the planet, but for at least one at bat, he was bested by a backup catcher. The catcher, Venezuelan Jhonny Pereda, managed to strikeout the 3-time MVP in the eighth inning of the Dodgers 19-2 win against the Athletics on Thursday night.

That's what happened on Thursday night when the Athletics' Jhonny Pereda was on the mound for the team as they were getting beat by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Pereda is normally a catcher, but he was on the mound for mop-up duty.

Shohei Ohtani had a monster game on Thursday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers blew out the Athletics 19-2 at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani hit home runs in back-to-back innings to move into a tie for the league lead during the victory.
