Shohei Ohtani continued his red-hot streak on Wednesday night, launching a home run for the fifth straight game and tying a franchise record for the Los Angeles Dodgers. His solo shot came in the first inning against Twins starter Chris Paddack, traveling an impressive 441 feet into the right-field stands. The homer marked Ohtani\u2019s 37th of the season, leading the National League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dodgers trailed heading into the bottom of the ninth but pulled off a dramatic comeback. With two outs and the bases loaded, Freddie Freeman delivered a two-run single to right field, sealing a 4\u20133 walk-off win. Ohtani, who had been intentionally walked earlier in the inning, raced home as the winning run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By homering in five straight games, Ohtani joins an exclusive group of Dodgers sluggers who share the team record, including names like Matt Kemp and Roy Campanella. His recent surge at the plate adds another chapter to his standout season, as he continues to power the Dodgers both statistically and emotionally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
