MLB roundup: Freddy Fermín concussion, Arozarena grand slam, Ohtani’s dominant start

San Diego Padres catcher Freddy Fermín suffered a second concussion this season after a head‑impact collision and will remain under observation, likely returning to the injured list. In Seattle, Randy Arozarena delivered a 412‑foot grand slam that helped the Mariners defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 11‑0 on Independence Day. Washington Nationals outfielder Luis García Jr. tied his personal best with 18 home runs this season, posting a .283 average and .874 OPS. Los Angeles Dodgers ace Shohei Ohtani is set to face the Padres with a league‑leading 1.58 ERA after a recent five‑scoreless‑inning outing. The Nationals also aimed to extend a winning streak against the Pittsburgh Pirates, while Dominican pitcher Jerar Encarnación shone in Japan’s NPB, driving three runs for the DeNA Stars.
