Ohtani reached five consecutive games with a home run for the first time in his career. He is also the seventh Dodgers player with five consecutive games with a home run.

The Japanese native joins these Dodgers legends with five consecutive games with a home run:

Shohei Ohtani against Boston for history

No Los Angeles Dodgers player has managed to establish a record of six consecutive games with a home run. The slugger and National League MVP will have the opportunity to make history this Friday against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Ohtani has a good record against Boston during his career in the Majors. The Japanese has a batting average of .310 with 18 hits, 2 home runs, 9 RBIs and 9 runs scored in 14 games against the Red Sox.

Shohei Ohtani has a batting average of .286 with 6 hits, 5 home runs, 10 RBIs and 6 runs scored. It is worth noting that now the designated hitter moved to second bat and Mookie Betts took over as the leadoff hitter in the National League.

With this home run, Shohei Ohtani regained the National League home run lead with 37 home runs, one more than Eugenio Suarez of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Dodgers take the series and regain ground

The Dodgers came from behind in the ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins to take the series this Wednesday.

With the scoreboard down 2-3, Freddie Freeman came to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs on the board.

With a 1-2 count, Freeman hit a single to left field, which almost caught Harrison Bader, allowing Betts and Ohtani to come to the plate and give the team the victory.

The Dodgers hold a 4.5-game lead over the San Diego Padres after 103 games.
