Shohei Ohtani hits 35th home run, allows first HR of season in Dodgers win

Shohei Ohtani was sharp on the mound and at the plate during the Los Angeles Dodgers' 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Ohtani allowed a leadoff home run to Byron Buxton but quickly responded with his 35th home run of the season, a two-run shot in the bottom of the first inning. Despite allowing seven batted balls exceeding 95 mph in his second consecutive three-inning outing, Ohtani finished with three strikeouts and one earned run, bringing his season ERA to 1.50.
