Ohtani started the home game against the Minnesota Twins at Dodger Stadium on the 22nd (Korea time).
Ohtani fired a two-run shot in his first at-bat with no outs in the bottom of the first inning. Ohtani, who took his first at-bat with Mookie Betts walking and runners on first base, rolled up an 86.6-mile changeup that fell flat into the middle of Minnesota right-hander David Festa's fourth pitch on a two-ball to well over the middle fence.
A large two-run shot with a firing angle of 26 degrees, a batting speed of 113.4 miles and a distance of 441 feet.
With this, Ohtani hit 35 home runs this season in three consecutive home runs, moving back to the NL lead with Arizona Diamondbacks Auhenio Suarez.
Earlier, Ohtani allowed one run on the pitch in the top of the first inning. He threw a high 83.9-mile sweeper on the second pitch to leadoff hitter Byron Buxton and was hit with a solo home run over the left-center fence.
Ohtani then gave up a shortstop infield hit to Ryan Jeffers after striking out Willie Castro straight out of the first baseman and striking out Trevor Lanark, but ended the inning by throwing Connie Clemens' 98.8-mile fastball toward his body on the fourth pitch at the ball count 1B2S.
