Shohei Ohtani of the Major League Baseball Dodgers started the game against the White Sox on the 13th as the No. 1 designated hitter, and in his first at-bat of the first inning, he hit his 14th lead-off home run of the season. Otani missed the previous day's game due to inflammation in his left knee, but returned for the first time in two games and hit a home run in his first at-bat. He has continued to perform well, hitting home runs in three consecutive games.
