Ohtani, who hit into a triple play in the sixth inning, had given the Dodgers a 6-5 lead in the ninth with a towering home run down the right-field line off Kenley Jansen. It was Ohtani's 43rd homer of the season, breaking a tie with Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber for the National League lead, and extended his home run streak to four games.

The Los Angeles Angels overcame Shohei Ohtani’s 42nd homer during an eighth-inning rally in their 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani will take the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a much‑anticipated start this Wednesday, August 13, 2025, and the spotlight will shine even brighter because his opponent at the plate will be none other than Mike Trout with the Los Angeles Angels.
