LOS ANGELES—Shohei Ohtani hit his first home run as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a solo drive in the seventh inning Wednesday night, April 3, in a 5–4 win over the San Francisco Giants that completed a three-game series sweep.

Playing his ninth game for his new team, Ohtani pulled a 93.2 mph sinker on the upper, outer portion of the strike zone from left-hander Taylor Rogers into the right-center field pavilion.
