Ohtani's 18-19 home run explosion was revived, but LAD is not a "sudden surprise."

When Shohei Ohtani became the AL home run king in the Los Angeles Angels last year, he hit 44 home runs, including four multi-homer games. Notably, when he hit 15 home runs, he hit two multi-homer games and five consecutive home runs in the Angels' history.

Ohtani, who moved to the Los Angeles Dodgers this year, hit his second multi-homer of the season, keeping the race for the NL home run king again.

Ohtani played a key role in a 3-0 complete victory at home against the Kansas City Royals at Dodger Stadium on the 17th (Korea time), with 2 hits, 2 RBIs, 2 runs, and 1 walk in 3 at-bats, including 2 home runs.

It is the 18th time in his career that Ohtani has drawn two arches in a game, and the second time this season after the home game against the Atlanta Braves on May 6. Ohtani, who was struggling with a drop in hitting sense that was quite different from June last year, finally revealed his "true" as the home run king. Ohtani, who hit two home runs in two consecutive games against the Texas Rangers on the 12th and 13th, added two home runs in four days to reach the 19th home run mark of the season.

Ohtani posted a batting average of 0.309 (86 hits in 278 times at bat), 19 homers, 46 RBIs, 53 runs scored, 32 walks, 15 steals, a on-base percentage of 0.382, a slugging percentage of 0.594 and an OPS of 0.976. He is one step closer to Marcell Ozuna (20) of the Atlanta Braves, the leader in home runs in the NL.토토사이트 순위

Ohtani, who drew a walk in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, fired his first cannon in his second at-bat after one out in the third inning when the balance was still 0-0. With the ball count of 2B1S, he rolled up a 92.5-mile sinker penetrating the strike zone in the middle of the fourth pitch of Kansas City's right-handed starter Brady Singer, well over the left-center fence. A large arch with a firing angle of 27 degrees, a batting speed of 114.3 miles (183.9 kilometers) and a flying distance of 451 feet (137.5 meters).

Ohtani then hit a home run with consecutive at-bats as the leadoff hitter in the sixth inning with his team leading 1-0. He pulled Singer's 79.7-mile body slider at the first pitch and put it into the middle of the stands over the right fence. The launch angle is 39 degrees, the batting speed is 110.7 miles (178.2 kilometers) and the flying distance is 400 feet (121.9 meters).

The next batter Freddie Freeman also hit a solo shot to right-center for a back-to-back home run, and the Dodgers widened the gap to 3-0.

Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow shut out three hits, one walk and nine strikeouts in seven innings, snapped a four-game losing streak and marked his sixth win in this season against Atlanta on April 5, before adding more wins in seven games. With seven wins and five losses in this season, he lowered his earned run average (ERA) from 3.24 by allowing eight hits and five runs in six innings against the Yankees on April 10. He also increased his number of strikeouts to 125, the highest in both leagues.

The Dodgers won the game in a good mood, but leading star leadoff Mookie Betts suffered a broken left hand with a hit ball. Betts, who entered the fourth batter's box with two outs and a runner on first base in the seventh inning with a 3-0 lead, was hit in the left hand by opponent right-hander Dan Altavilla's 4th fastball of 97.9 miles.

After collapsing there, he was in pain as he threw himself around with his right hand holding the left hand. A local caster expressed his regret, chanting "No" six times. Even manager Dave Roberts rushed out. With the help of a trainer, Betts eventually pulled out to the dugout.

"I'm in big trouble. I'm so sad," Roberts said after the game. The Dodgers faced a major setback for two consecutive days after Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was placed on the 15-day injured list after he was diagnosed with a rotator cuff in his right shoulder after being replaced after two innings in a game against Kansas City.

After finishing its three consecutive home games against the Kansas City Royals with two wins and one loss, the Dodgers led the NL West with 44 wins and 29 losses. Its gap with the San Diego Padres, ranked second in the district, widened to eight games. The Dodgers lost to the New York Mets 6-11 on the day, and suffered a three-game sweep.
