Ohtani hits 22nd home run of season against hometown Angels

Superstar Shohei Ohtani (29-Los Angeles Dodgers) went 2-for-2 with two doubles, two walks, two RBIs and one run scored against his “hometown team,” the Los Angeles Angels, in his first game since joining the Dodgers.

Ohtani started in the No. 1 spot in the lineup against the Angels at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, USA, and swung the bat like a man possessed.

His season batting average rose from .318 to .322. He leads all of MLB in that category.

He led the National League in home runs, RBI (55), and runs scored (60).

After drawing walks in the first and third innings, Ohtani homered in the bottom of the fifth inning with the score tied at 0-0.

With the bases loaded and two outs, Ohtani took a fastball up the middle from Angels left-hander Matt Moore over the center field wall.

It was a huge home run, traveling 138.68 meters.

Ohtani completed his multi-hit game (two or more hits in a game) with an RBI single in the eighth inning.

The Dodgers fell behind 2-3 in the 10th inning of extra innings as their other bats fell silent in the face of Ohtani’s blast.

Ohtani, who has been batting No. 1 since April 18 against the Colorado Rockies when designated hitter Mookie Betts went down with a fractured left hand, is 10-for-20 with a .500 batting average, three home runs and nine RBIs in his last five games.

Ohtani played for the Angels from 2018 through last year, his first year in the United States, before joining the Dodgers as a free agent. It was his first time playing against the Angels. 온라인 슬롯
