Ohtani hits 11th homer, Buehler solid in return as Dodgers defeat Marlins 6-3 for 4th straight win
Shohei Ohtani continued his power surge with his fourth home run in three games and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Miami Marlins 6-3 in Walker Buehler’s first major league start in nearly two years
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani continued his power surge with his fourth home run in three games and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Miami Marlins 6-3 on Monday night in Walker Buehler's first start in nearly two years.
Ohtani became the first big leaguer to reach 11 homers this season when he crushed an elevated fastball from Roddery Muñoz (1-1) and sent it 441 feet into the center-field netting for a two-run shot in the first inning that tied the score 2-all.
It is the eighth time in Ohtani's career he has homered in three straight games, and the fourth time he's hit four in a three-game span.
Two pitches after Ohtani’s homer, Freddie Freeman followed with a solo shot to left-center, the first time the Dodgers had gone back-to-back this season.
