Shohei Ohtani played six years with the Angels before joining the Dodgers.
Friday night, he faced his old team for the first time as a Dodger.
In his initial at-bat, he tipped his helmet to the Angels’ dugout and walked twice before hitting a big one on his third try.
Ohtani’s Big Moment:
He smashed a home run, clocking in at 113.1 mph and traveling 455 feet. Fans might think this was bound to happen sooner or later.
SHOHEI GOES YARD AGAIN!

This homer marked his fifth in six games, bringing him to 22 for the season. He leads the National League in home runs, slugging percentage, and OPS. Against all teams except two—the Phillies and Cardinals—he’s hit homers.
The Dodgers have a nine-game lead in their division while the Angels trail by 13.5 games.
What do you think about Ohtani’s performance?
