against the Rockies
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani hit his 300th career homer on Tuesday night,
a leadoff shot against Colorado Rockies pitcher Michael Lorenzen that made him
the first Japanese-born player in the majors to reach the milestone.
The Los Angeles Dodgers' two-way superstar blasted a 409-foot line drive to
center on a 2-0 pitch for his 20th homer of the season. Center fielder Cole
Carrigg could only watch it fly out.
Ohtani is the 170th member of the 300-homer club.
It was Ohtani's 31st career leadoff homer and seventh this season. He also
homered in the Dodgers' 8-7 victory in 11 innings on Monday night to highlight
a 3-for-4 performance.
Teammate Freddie Freeman bowed as Ohtani made his way back to the dugout.
