In an electrifying moment, Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning to give his team a narrow win.
The game showcased remarkable power and skill. The star batter, leading the National League with 37 long-range home runs, also connected with a 441-foot shot off Minnesota starter Chris Paddack in the game’s first inning. The ball sailed into center field, carrying his bat along the first-base line before he celebrated with a bat flip.
This achievement marked his 46th career home run of 440 feet or more since his MLB debut in 2018, with three such blasts recorded in the past week. New York Yankees standout Aaron Judge previously tallied five consecutive games with a homer last season. Ohtani now joins Dodgers legends including Max Muncy, Joc Pederson, Adrian Gonzalez, Matt Kemp, Shawn Green and Roy Campanella, highlighting his commanding performance.
