ANAHEIM, Calif.—Shohei Ohtani hit an RBI triple in his first regular-season game back at Angel Stadium, and he scored on Mookie Betts’ three-run home run in the 10th inning of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 6–2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.

Ohtani went 1 for 4 with his tying triple in the third inning after the two-way superstar received a warm welcome back to the stadium where he excelled for the Angels over the previous six years. Ohtani won two American League Most Valuable Player awards and a Rookie of the Year trophy while redefining what’s possible in modern baseball, but he couldn’t lead the long-struggling Angels to a winning season.
