On the 20th (Korea time), Ohtani turned the tide to 4-2 by shooting a three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning, trailing 1-2 against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium.
Ohtani, who entered the batter's box for the third time on the day with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, hit a 95.5-mile fastball that flew outside for the fifth time in the ball count 2B2S, and connected it with a three-run shot that went well over the inside of the left foul pole.
He hit his 52nd home run of the season with a 30-degree launch angle, a 100.2-mile batting speed and a 370-foot flying distance.
Ohtani reversed the previous game in which starting pitcher Kershaw gave up four hits and four walks in four ⅓ innings and allowed two runs. Mookie Betts then hit a solo home run over the middle with a back-to-back to widen the gap to 5-2.
