But more than that, they made history. Ohtani broke a team record that had lasted for more than 70 years. Shohei Ohtani breaks Gil Hodges' record from 1951 Gil Hodges first established the mark in 1951. Hodges was playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers then. In the first 57 games of the season, he had blasted 21 home runs. Since then, no Dodgers player had matched that number until now. On May 30, Ohtani came into the game with 20 home runs for the season. In the first inning, he hit a home run on the very first pitch he faced. The ball went 417 feet. That was off Yankees pitcher Max Fried. Then, in the sixth inning, Ohtani hit another home run. That brought his total to 22 home runs in 57 games. Just like that, he broke the long-standing record held by a Hall of Famer.

Then Shohei Ohtani did the same for the Dodgers. This had never happened before. It was the first time both reigning MVPs hit solo home runs in the same inning of a game. The Yankees took an early lead. They were ahead 5–2. But the Dodgers came back strong. Ohtani's second home run started a four-run inning. Teammates Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages also helped. Two more runs in the seventh sealed the win. After the game, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said, 'There were MVPs, All-Stars, and great players all around. The stars showed up.' This win snapped the Yankees' five-game winning streak. It also gave Ohtani a special place in Dodgers history.

SHOCKING: Shohei Ohtani silences Yankees rally as Aaron Judge clash turns into a historic MVP showdown (Image Source: Getty Images) The calendar read May, but on Friday night at Dodger Stadium, the vibe was absolutely October. The New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers, two of the best teams in baseball, were playing a crucial game. Two celebrities, Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge, were thrust into the spotlight. And both did not disappoint. Aaron Judge started the night with a huge home run, 446 feet into centre field. Then, Shohei Ohtani answered right away with a 417-foot homer of his own. It was the first time in baseball history that two current MVPs hit home runs in the same inning of a game. Shohei Ohtani outshines Aaron Judge as MVP battle electrifies Dodger Stadium The Yankees hit four home runs in the first three innings and had a 5–2 lead. But the Dodgers fought back. They scored four runs in the sixth inning and two more in the seventh to win 8–5. Yankees pitcher Max Fried, who came into the game with a perfect 7–0 record, gave up six earned runs, his worst this season. Shohei Ohtani was the star of the night. That gave him 15 homers in May, tying a Dodgers record that hadn't been touched since 1985. He now has 22 home runs in the team's first 57 games and is on pace to hit 63 this year. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, 'When Shohei sees another MVP like Aaron Judge across from him, it brings out the best in him.' His teammate, Tony Gonsolin, added, 'Every time Shohei comes up to bat, we expect something big.'

To play in big games, in big moments.' The Yankees and Dodgers meet again Saturday night. And all eyes will be on Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. The battle isn't over yet.

10 jaw-dropping Love Island moments as the show turns 10, from Jon & Hannah's engagement to outrageous rows
Our fave show is back in just over a week, and our whole personality is about to be taken over by Love Island once again. This year will mark 10 years since the show first aired and what a decade it has been. We've since had two winter series and the All-Stars series is now a regular spin-off. On Sunday, 1st June, some of the legendary cast will return for a special episode, Love Island: A Decade of Love, commemorating 10 years of the dating show. With this in mind, we just couldn't help ourself and put together a list of some of the biggest moments from over the years. It was hard to pick just 10, but from Jon Clark proposing to Hannah Elizabeth in season one, to countless moments that have now become our fave memes, here's all the Love Island moments we just cannot get over - plus some honourable mentions. Season: 1 Season one started with a bang, with John Clark getting down on one during the Love Island finale. While others have given some pretty emotional love declarations since then, absolutely no one has been able to top John's proposal. Season: 2 All anyone has to do is mention Zara Holland from Love Island and automatically the image of her and Alex Bowen in the Hideaway pops up in your mind. The shocking scene led to Zara being stripped of her Miss Great Britain title and ignited a national debate about double standards and media scrutiny. Season: 2 Season two was full of chaos. Back when the Islanders weren't too bothered with coming up with secret words or football language to hide the fact that they'd done the deed, Terry Walsh and Emma Jane-Woodham took it one step further as they had sex on top of the covers in plain sight. We're still screaming just thinking about it. Season: 5 We fell in love with Maura Higgins from the moment she entered the Love Island villa as a bombshell and went straight for Tommy Fury despite him kind of being very happily coupled up with Molly-Mae Hague at the time. She really dgaf and we loved that about her, but this moment here pretty much sealed the deal for us. One night, Maura and Tom Walker were due to go to the Hideaway, but Maura then overheard Tom boasting to the other guys. "I just want to see if she's all mouth," he laughed as the boys cheered him on. Unbeknownst to him, Maura heard the entire exchange and confronted him straight away, saying: "Are you joking? That's disgraceful, Tom. That's absolutely f***ing disgusting." She really put him in his place and they didn't end up going to the Hideaway, as she told him to "go f*** himself." Ouch! Season: 3 Season three was probably my favourite season of Love Island. It's the first year Casa Amor was introduced (and that year it was wild with postcards and everything), and it's also the year celebrity Love Island fan, Stormzy, made a cameo. First, his Tweet: "Chris, you're too good for her mate" was read out during a challenge, sparking major tension between Chris Hughes and his partner Olivia Attwood. Stormzy then had a video call with Chris, Kem Cetinay and Marcel Somerville and told Olivia "No hard feelings, yeah?" Although, she was still quite upset about it. Olivia and Chris split six months after the show, but Chris and Stormzy's relationship developed, with the duo going on to produce a song, 'Little Bit Leave It, along with Kem (oh, the good ole days.) Season: 3 Tensions were high in the villa as Georgia Harrison and Amber Davies clashed over Kem Cetinay and the feud between Theo Campbell and Jonny Mitchell continued. Chris came up with what he thought was a perfect solution to diffuse the situation, asking the others: "Do you want me to rap anyone, lift the mood a bit?" Unfortunately for Chris (and comedy fans everywhere), the Islanders weren't in the mood, and his offer was instantly shut down. But, it has become one of the most used memes and catchphrases from the show, so a win is a win! Season: 3 Ever since Georgia Harrison (who joined the villa as a bombshell) stole Kem from Amber, we've not stopped seeing that hilarious meme of Amber's face the moment she heard Georgia say Kem's name. It's now a regularly used meme in group chats or on X (formerly Twitter) for when anything shocking happens in general or during dramatic recouplings on the show. Season: 5 This moment brought us not one, but two of the most iconic lines to come out of Love Island. After Casa Amor, Amy Hart returned to the villa to find out that Curtis had tried (and failed) to recouple with bombshell Jourdan Riane. Following this, Amy pulled Curtis and laid into him, saying: "I was coming back her to tell you that I loved you." She later questioned whether Curtis really loved her and said that in the mornings he didn't stay in the bed to cuddle her, to which he quickly responded: "I also want to be the person that gets up and makes everyone a coffee. so everyone's ready for the morning." We're still cringing over this moment. We've loved pretty much every baby challenge that has taken place on Love Island, and hope it will return this year. While not as racy as most of the other challenges, it's really made us LOL - from all those baby names we can't get out of our head (hello, Cash Hughes and Sienna Funke Hope, with the Indiyah Polack baby hairs!), to some of the most chaotic scenes like when Dr. Alex George dropped his baby during a pram race with Josh Denzel in season four. Season: 7 The Love Island talent show is another one that gets us every, single time, and Millie Court playing the keyboard in 2021 really tickled us. For her segment, Millie performed a very, unique piece she'd composed herself. Speaking in the The Beach Hut, Jake Cornish gushed: "I find songs like that, especially piano/keyboard, it's beautiful to hear it. When Mills was playing it and it was super silent and everyone was engaged on Mills, it was beautiful. I almost had a little tear in my eye." Same here, Jake, same here (although, probably not for the same reasons as you!) The hilarious moment has become a viral meme, and each year when it's time for the talent show, there's often a collage of all the "musicians" floating about on social media. Season: 2 We're just going to name this one Kady, because she had a lot of wild moments on Love Island. No wonder they invited her back as a bombshell for season 10. Things went left between her and new girl Malia Arkian, who joined (ever so briefly) as a bombshell. Kady decided to sit next to Malia who had just taken Scott out on a date and spilt her drink . Some of it went on Malia's leg and she was fuming. "Do you think I'd waste my wine of your leg?" Kady asked as Malia stormed off. Malia then screamed at Kady, "Shut up, you d**k" and tried to fight her. Malia was subsequently removed from the villa. Another dramatic moment came after Tina Stinnes' arrival. Tina took Scott on a date and it didn't go down well with Kady, who could be heard screaming and shouting insults from a private room she was being kept in with Olivia Bowen. "You're a c**t and your dress is s***!" she said. We struggled, so below is a list of some moments that almost made our Top 10: Love Island starts on Monday 9th June on ITV2 at 9pm.

WNBA player Courtney Vandersloot scores ultimate victory over her wife (and teammate!)
Chicago Sky guard Courtney Vandersloot set a record on Thursday night - at the expense of her wife and longtime teammate. Vandersloot, who tallied 13 points and nine assists in a win against the Dallas Wings, became Chicago's all-time leader in points (3,728) and field goals (1,390). And the previous record holder was none other than her wife, Allie Quigley, who spent 10 seasons with Chicago from 2013 to 2022 - her last year in the WNBA. Vandersloot has also spent the majority of her career with the Sky after being drafted by the franchise in 2011. The now five-time All-Star spent the first 12 seasons of her career in the Midwest before joining the Liberty for two seasons. She re-joined the Sky in February. 'What means the most is my time spent here,' Vandersloot told reporters afterwards, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. ' 'It just speaks to the commitment that I made to the Chicago Sky and their commitment to me as well. They drafted me and let me develop. We had a lot of tough seasons. It wasn't always easy.' While Vandersloot has now overtaken her wife's record, the couple made tons of memories together on the Sky, as they spent 10 seasons as teammates. In 2021, both were a vital part of a championship-winning team, while they were both also All-Stars in 2019. The pair, who were married in 2018, reportedly met in 2013 while traveling back to the US from Europe, where both were playing during the WNBA offseason. According to Sports Illustrated, they were on the same flight and even in the same limousine to Sky physicals, with Quigley hoping to earn a roster spot after getting a training camp invite. They began dating the following September - after that year's WNBA season had concluded - and ultimately got married seven years ago in Seattle. The Sky earned their first win of the season on Wednesday with their victory, and Kamilla Cardoso led the team with 23 points.

From Le Bouchon to the lakefront: Shea Couleé's ultimate Chicago day
Chicago's drag queen superstar Shea Couleé is joining Trixie Mattel for her " Solid Pink Disco" DJ set and show at the Salt Shed on Thursday. Context: Couleé is arguably the most successful drag queen from Chicago, slaying "RuPaul's Drag Race" several times, including taking home the crown in All-Stars season 5 in 2020. Couleé has been performing drag since 2012 at legendary local clubs like Roscoe's and the now-closed Berlin. She's also a recording artist and a model. The latest: The entertainer has crossed over to scripted television, starring in "Abbott Elementary" and the upcoming Marvel series "Ironheart." What to watch for: Couleé is the scheduled opener tonight, but Mattel will most likely bring her "Drag Race" alum back onstage during her set. The bottom line: Couleé still lives here, so we reached out to get the beloved performer's perfect day in Chicago. 🥐 Breakfast: "I'm going to Lost Larson in Andersonville. I'm going to get a lavender latte, an almond croissant, and if I'm really feeling feisty, I'll add in one of their signature quiches." 🏋️♀️ Morning activity: "Normally, my routine is going to start with me getting up and going to the gym. I go to this fierce Queer gym called Cheetah Gym. Yes, it's very ferocious. After I read some emails, I'll give myself a little break to read or play some video games like Fortnite or Dead by Daylight." 🍕Lunch: "I'm going to keep it really simple and go to Pizza Lobo because I love their quickfire NYC-style thin crust pizzas and their Caesar salad is on another level. It's such a cute little lunch spot with picnic tables, self-service, and the food is amazing." 🛼 Afternoon activity: "Let's assume this is during the months with beautiful weather outside, so maybe I'll pop on my rollerblades and go blading down the lakefront path for some cute views of the city. My soundtrack will probably be my K-pop faves: Katseye, BLACKPINK, and LE SSERAFIM." 🥣 Dinner: "Let me go to Le Bouchon for some really amazing French onion soup. Their menu is always changing, so it's hard to know what to expect. Their potato and leek soup is also amazing."
