Ohtani's Double Homers Drive Win

Ohtani Erupts With Four Hits at Coors Field

Ohtani did not just hit two home runs — he was the engine of the entire Dodgers offense. He went 4-for-5 on the night, giving Los Angeles a star at the top of their order who simply could not be stopped. Max Muncy added to the damage as well, going deep and adding a single, according to Reuters.

The Dodgers opened the scoring in the second inning on an RBI double from Mookie Betts. They then broke the game open in the third inning, piling on more runs against Colorado starter Tomoyuki Sugano. Andy Pages and Freddie Freeman each finished with three hits, per Denver Post.
