That run broke the Los Angeles Dodgers record for most runs scored in a season, set by Ohtani last season.<\/p>\n<p>Ohtani was hitless in his first five at-bats on Sunday, but had a pop fly drop in center field to open the ninth inning, extending his on-base streak to 19 consecutive games. He was plated on a single by Tommy Edman, capping the scoring in the Dodgers\u2019 10-2 rout of the Giants.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Ohtani scored 134 runs in his first year with the team en route to winning National League MVP. That surpassed Freddie Freeman\u2019s 131 runs scored in 2023 as the LA Dodgers runs record. Ohtani is the only Dodger in the modern era (since 1900) to score at least 130 runs in a season <em>twice<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Three Brooklyn players had multiple years of 130 runs scored in the 19th century \u2014 George Pinkney (1887-88), Hub Collins (1889-90), and Mike Griffin (1895, 1897). It\u2019s Collins who holds the Dodgers franchise record with 148 runs scored in 1890, the club\u2019s first season in the National League.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands, Ohtani\u2019s 135 runs are tied for eighth-most in a season in Dodgers history, along with second baseman Tom Daly in 1894. Ohtani will need to score almost daily to top Collins; with 13 games remaining on the Dodgers schedule, Ohtani is on pace for 147 runs scored.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Most runs scored in a season, Dodgers<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h3>Player<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Pos<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Year<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Runs<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Hub Collins<\/td>\n<td>2B<\/td>\n<td>1890<\/td>\n<td>148<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Darby O\u2019Brien<\/td>\n<td>OF<\/td>\n<td>1889<\/td>\n<td>146<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Babe Herman<\/td>\n<td>RF<\/td>\n<td>1930<\/td>\n<td>143<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mike Griffin<\/td>\n<td>OF<\/td>\n<td>1895<\/td>\n<td>140<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Willie Keeler<\/td>\n<td>OF<\/td>\n<td>1899<\/td>\n<td>140<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hub Collins<\/td>\n<td>2B<\/td>\n<td>1889<\/td>\n<td>139<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mike Griffin<\/td>\n<td>OF<\/td>\n<td>1897<\/td>\n<td>136<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tom Daly<\/td>\n<td>2B<\/td>\n<td>1894<\/td>\n<td>135<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shohei Ohtani<\/td>\n<td>DH<\/td>\n<td>2025<\/td>\n<td>135<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>George Pinkney<\/td>\n<td>3B<\/td>\n<td>1888<\/td>\n<td>134<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fielder Jones<\/td>\n<td>OF<\/td>\n<td>1897<\/td>\n<td>134<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shohei Ohtani<\/td>\n<td>DH<\/td>\n<td>2024<\/td>\n<td>134<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>George Pinkney<\/td>\n<td>3B<\/td>\n<td>1887<\/td>\n<td>133<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pee Wee Reese<\/td>\n<td>SS<\/td>\n<td>1949<\/td>\n<td>132<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duke Snider<\/td>\n<td>CF<\/td>\n<td>1953<\/td>\n<td>132<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bill McClellan<\/td>\n<td>2B<\/td>\n<td>1886<\/td>\n<td>131<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Freddie Freeman<\/td>\n<td>1B<\/td>\n<td>2023<\/td>\n<td>131<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maury Wills<\/td>\n<td>SS<\/td>\n<td>1962<\/td>\n<td>130<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div>\n<p><em>Source: Baseball Reference<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The only Brooklyn player in the 20th century to score more than Ohtani was Babe Herman, the outfielder who scored 143 runs in 1930.
