The ball, hit at 108.3 mph, was his fifth home run of the season.\n\nIn addition, the star player extended his streak of consecutive games reaching base to 46, the longest active in Major League Baseball. With this mark, he was only one game away from tying Ron Cey for fourth place in the Dodgers&#8217; franchise history since 1900.\n\nThis home run also marked Ohtani&#8217;s first matchup against deGrom, a two-time Cy Young winner, resolving the duel with a single pitch.\n\nAfter a season start without extra-base hits at home, the Japanese player has regained his power, achieving consecutive home runs to start games for the third time in his career. Now, he has the possibility of joining a select group of players who have hit a home run to start three consecutive games.\n\nDespite Ohtani&#8217;s initial impact, deGrom recovered and dominated the rest of the game. The pitcher worked six solid innings, allowing only four hits, striking out nine batters and conceding three walks, leading Texas to a 5-2 victory to avoid the sweep.\n\nThe Rangers&#8217; offense responded forcefully, highlighting the performance of Evan Carter, who hit a solo home run, and Brandon Nimmo, who continued his good form with two hits and two RBIs.\n\nWith this result, Texas managed to secure the last game of the series, backed by the experience and dominance of its ace, who demonstrated his effectiveness against the strong Los Angeles lineup.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shohei Ohtani Sets the Tone with a Home Run from the Start Los Angeles \u2013 Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese sensation, once again demonstrated his extraordinary talent by hitting a home run on the first pitch of the game against Jacob deGrom, in the match between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Texas Rangers.
