LOS ANGELES—Shohei Ohtani launched his fourth home run in the past three games Monday night, and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Miami Marlins 6–3 in Walker Buehler’s first major-league start in nearly two years.

Ohtani became the first big-leaguer to reach 11 homers this season. He crushed an elevated fastball from Roddery Muñoz (1–1) and sent it 441 feet into the center-field netting for a two-run shot in the first inning that tied the score 2–2.
