Ohtani hits leadoff homer in consecutive games, Dodgers win

Shohei Ohtani electrified the game with a powerful home run in his first inning, driving it out of the park for his fifth leadoff homer this season as he continues to find his power stroke. The right-hitter, batting .305 in May after a career-low average from 2018-2024, has shown remarkable consistency with his approach, including delivering consecutive leadoff homers against the White Sox earlier this month. His return to form and improved batting average suggest he could make significant waves as he looks to extend his impressive impact on the Dodgers' rotation in his second full season.
