Shohei Otani of the Major League Baseball Dodgers started as the No. 1 designated hitter against the Rockies on the 6th, and in his second at-bat of the third inning, trailing by one run, he swung the first pitch and hit his 19th two-run home run of the season to left field. It was his first home run in six games, and he is just one home run away from reaching the milestone of hitting 300 in the major leagues.
