Coming off an excruciating defeat that stretched their losing streak to five games, the Los Angeles Dodgers desperately needed a spark in the finale of a horrid East Coast trip.
Shohei Ohtani immediately delivered, sending the second pitch of Sunday's game against the Orioles into the right-field seats. The Dodgers' standout leadoff hitter tacked on another solo shot in the third inning for his 48th home run of the season, and that was enough to propel Los Angeles to a much-needed 5-2 victory.
