LOS ANGELES—Shohei Ohtani broke Hideki Matsui’s major league record for homers by a Japanese-born player with a huge two-run shot in the third inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers snapped their three-game skid with a 10–0 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday, April 21.
Ohtani crushed a 423-foot line drive off Adrian Houser (0–2) deep into the right-field bleachers for the two-time AL MVP’s fifth homer of the year and the 176th of his six-plus seasons in the majors with the Angels and Dodgers.
