Sitting on a 1–1 count to lead off the contest against Garrett Crochet, Ohtani received a 97 mph fastball right down the middle from the Red Sox ace—and made him pay. The Dodgers star ripped the pitch to dead center field for his 38th home run of the season, giving Los Angeles a 1–0 lead.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says Shohei Ohtani’s current approach could help him tie the MLB home run streak in Boston.
