Shohei Ohtani hit his first home run for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 5-4 win over the San Francisco Giants, completing a three-game sweep. Ohtani's solo shot came in the seventh inning, marking his 172nd career home run. The two-time MVP, limited to hitting this season due to elbow surgery, expressed relief at breaking his homer drought.
Ohtani's blast, a 430-foot drive into the right-center field pavilion, put the Dodgers ahead 5-3. The star player, who signed a record $700 million, 10-year contract with the Dodgers, also singled and scored earlier in the game. Despite a recent hitting slump, Ohtani is batting .270 with four RBIs.
