LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani homered leading off the bottom of the first inning after pitching a hitless opening frame for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.
Ohtani's 28th career leadoff home run and fourth this season came exactly a week after the two-way superstar went deep on the first pitch of the game before throwing five innings of three-hit ball against the Padres in San Diego on May 20.
His 424-foot shot to dead center came on a 1-1 pitch from countryman Tomoyuki Sugano of the Colorado Rockies. Two batters later, Freddie Freeman went deep, giving the Dodgers a 2-0 lead.
On Tuesday, Ohtani was hit by a pitch on his right hand and left the game early.
