The Athletics鈥� backup catcher faced Ohtani in the eighth inning Thursday night.

Pereda gave up three straight hits against the bottom of the Dodgers鈥� order. With Los Angeles leading 17-2, Ohtani came up with a chance to pile on.

Pereda鈥檚 first four pitches to the Japanese superstar were between 62 and 68 mph. Ohtani took a called first strike and later fouled off another pitch.

Then Perada threw an 89-mph fastball.

Ohtani鈥檚 foul tip was caught and one of the major leagues鈥� homer leaders went down swinging.

鈥淗e struck out against a position player, how about that?鈥� Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.

Perada kept the ball as a souvenir.

Miguel Rojas came up next and used Ohtani’s bat to get a RBI single.

鈥淚t’s kind of like, `Hey, I’ll show you how it’s done,’” Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy said, smiling.

The Dodgers beat the A’s 19-2.

Ohtani has homered on three of his four bobblehead nights as a Dodger. He hit a walk-off homer on his previous bobblehead night April 2.
