Shohei Ohtani’s first Dodgers home run came against Los Angeles’ biggest rivals.
The two-time MVP smacked his first long ball with his new club in the seventh inning on Wednesday night against the Giants, adding to the Dodgers’ lead in a tightly contested ballgame that they won, 5-4.
Ohtani hadn’t gotten off to the strongest of starts through the team’s first eight games, going 8-for-33 with a .631 OPS and just three extra-base hits.
But with one hit already on the books, Ohtani was ready for more as he faced left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers and the Dodgers up 4-3 in the seventh.
