Ohtani played as a leadoff designated hitter in an away game against the Boston Red Sox in Jinhae at Fenway Park on the 27th (Korea time) and hit a solo home run in the middle of the first inning.
On Boston left-hander ace Garrett Crochet, he hit a 97.1 mile fastball on the third pitch in the ball count of 1B1S to slightly over the middle fence.
His 38th home run of the season, with an angle of 36 degrees, a 108.5 mile batting speed and a distance of 414 feet.
Ohtani set a record for the Dodgers in this category by hitting home runs in five consecutive games from the Milwaukee Brewers on the 19th to the Minnesota Twins on the 24th, but he came to Boston the previous day (26th) and hit only one single from five at-bats.
However, in his first at-bat, he knocked down Fenway Park with strong bat speed on Crochet, the left-hander of the Major League Baseball.
With this, Ohtani firmly maintained his NL home run lead and widened the gap with Philadelphia Phillies Kyle Schwarber, who tied for second, and Arizona Diamondbacks Auhenio Suarez (more than 36). In addition, he is one shy of Seattle Mariners Carrolli (39), who ranks first in AL home runs.
Following Ohtani's first home run in the top of the first inning, the Dodgers widened the gap to 2-0 with Teoscar Hernandez's solo home run to the left.
