Ohtani led off for the Dodgers in the bottom of the first, and took full advantage of a hanging sinker from Colorado Rockies starter Michael Lorenzen on the third pitch of the at-bat. The reigning MVP caught the ball square, shooting it well over the center field fence at Dodger Stadium.
The homer marked Ohtani’s 20th of the season, as well as his 129th as a Dodger. Ohtani reached 300 homers in just 1,102 games, which is the fifth-fastest of any player in MLB history. The players to accomplish the feat before him are Aaron Judge—the only player to do so in fewer than 1,000 games—Ralph Kiner, Ryan Howard and Juan Gonzalez.
