Shohei Ohtani's seven-game hitting streak ended Monday night in the Dodgers' 3-0 win over the Chicago White Sox.While there wasn't a hit on the board for Los Angeles' designated hitter, who went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, Ohtani did keep two other streaks alive. 

Mixed in with his 0-for-3 were a walk and a sacrifice fly.

The walk pushed Ohtani's on-base streak to 10 consecutive games. The last time he didn't reach base was a June 13 loss to the Texas Rangers. He's now reached safely in all but two of LA's 21 games in June.

Meanwhile, the sacrifice fly to left field that plated Chris Taylor from third in the top of the ninth marked an RBI for Ohtani. That makes it eight games in a row that Ohtani has driven in at least one run. 

It's hard to be hotter than Ohtani has been in June, and there's no better display of that than the various streaks he either has or had going.
