Shohei Ohtani’s legend just keeps growing.
In a game that had a little bit of everything, Ohtani proved—yet again—why he’s one of the most electrifying players in all of baseball. The Los Angeles Dodgers’ two-way superstar etched his name into the history books with a performance that was equal parts human and superhuman.
After allowing a leadoff home run to Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton in the top of the first, Ohtani responded in the most Ohtani way imaginable: by smashing a two-run homer of his own in the bottom half of the inning. Let that sink in—he gave one up, then took it back, and gave the Dodgers the lead.
That swing didn’t just ignite the crowd at Chavez Ravine—it made history. Ohtani became the first pitcher since 1979 to surrender a home run and hit one himself in the first inning of the same game. The last guy to do it? Rick Rhoden of the Pirates, over four decades ago.
But this wasn’t just a footnote or a flashy headline. It was a tone-setter. Ohtani’s blast flipped the script early and gave the Dodgers the spark they needed en route to a 5-2 win over the Twins. He finished the night with poise on the mound and pop at the plate, reminding everyone why he’s the face of the game—and the heart of this Dodgers team.
