Ohtani’s 30th HR Ignites Dodgers Surge | Fayetteville News

Shohei Ohtani just hit his 30th home run of the season — marking six straight years hitting that milestone — with a jaw-dropping two-run blast into the bullpen to give the Dodgers an early lead. After a rough stretch offensively, LA’s bats have fully awakened, smashing 18 runs in the first two games of this series, including three homers from Ohtani. Teoscar Hernandez and Tommy Edman added key doubles and triples to drive in runs. With closer Edwin Diaz sidelined due to neck inflammation, Tanner Scott stepped up to deliver his 17th save. The Rockies fought back valiantly, tying the game and keeping it close thanks to Will Castro’s 14th homer, but the Dodgers pulled away for the win. Tonight’s finale features Roki Sasaki vs. Kyle Freeland — both teams desperate to cap the series on a high note. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
