Ohtani hit his first solo home run of the season in Game 2 against the Chicago Cubs of the MLB World Tour Tokyo Series at Tokyo Dome, Japan on the 19th. After the Dodgers led 5-2 in the fifth inning, they pulled the fastball of Nate Pearson, the second pitcher of the Cubs, at 160km/h, and sent it out of the right-center fence.

The outfield crowd missed the ball while trying to catch it and the ball fell back to the ground, but the home run decision was confirmed after a video review. The 40,000 spectators filled the stands at Tokyo Dome celebrated Ohtani's first shot of the season with cheers that seemed to fly off the roof.토토사이트

Ohtani, who became the National League's home run king (54) last year, boasted a strong slugging power even before the opening. In a warm-up match against the Yomiuri Giants of Japan on the 15th, he hit a two-run home run against Japanese national pitcher Shosei Toko to boost the heat.

In the first game of the Tokyo Series on the previous day (April 18), the opening game of the MLB regular season, he had two hits and two runs from five times at bat, contributing to his team's 4-1 victory. He also fired a home run in the second game of the season, responding to baseball fans' enthusiastic support. Otani, who started the game as the first designated hitter on the day, had one hit (one home run) from three times at bat (one home run), two walks, and one RBI.

"Monster pitcher" Loki Sasaki (24), who joined the Dodgers late last year, made his big league debut at the Tokyo Dome, which is more familiar than the Dodger Stadium, but suffered from poor control by allowing five walks during three innings. After throwing 57 pitches, Sasaki allowed one hit, three strikeouts, and one run before leaving the mound. The maximum speed of his fastballs was 161 kilometers per hour.

Dodgers infielder Tommy Hyun-soo Edman, whose mother is Korean, drew a solo arch to the left after two outs in the third inning with his team leading 2-0, and became the hero of MLB's first home run this season.

The Dodgers beat Ohtani, Edman and Enrique Hernandez 6-3 with three home runs. Major hitters Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman were unable to play due to poor condition and injury, but they were able to return home with light steps after winning two games in Tokyo.
