Ohtani Ends Homer Drought With Opposite-Field Blast in Dodgers’ Win

The swing suggests early progress in his reset at the plate.

Overview

  • Shohei Ohtani, who broke a 60-plate-appearance lull Sunday, launched a seventh-inning solo homer against the Cubs.
  • The swing turned on a first-pitch sinker from left-handed sidearmer Milner to left-center.
  • He finished 3-for-3, with a single and a double off Cubs starter Imanaga, plus a stolen base.
  • Los Angeles closed out a 6-0 win, with Imanaga tagged for five runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings.
  • Ohtani said he has felt a little better since Saturday and plans to stay patient as he makes small adjustments.
