The hit, with an exit velocity of 108.3 mph, marked his fifth home run of the season.\n\nIn addition, the two-way player extended his streak of consecutive games reaching base to 46, the longest currently in Major League Baseball. With this mark, he is 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 two-time Cy Young winner deGrom, resolving the duel with a single pitch.\n\n\n<p>After a season start without extra-base hits at home, the Japanese player has regained his power, hitting home runs in consecutive games for the third time in his career. Now, he has the possibility of joining a select group of players who have hit home runs to start three consecutive games, including Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. and Alex Verdugo.<\/p>\n\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 strongly, highlighting the contribution 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 secured the last game of the series, thanks to the experience and dominance of its ace, who demonstrated his effectiveness against the powerful Los Angeles lineup.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shohei Ohtani Establishes Dominance with Home Run from the First Pitch Los Angeles \u2013 Japanese star Shohei Ohtani once again demonstrated his exceptional talent by hitting a home run on the first pitch of Sunday&#8217;s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Texas Rangers, facing pitcher Jacob deGrom.
