This hit not only signified his first extra-base hit at home this season, but also his 25th home run as a leadoff hitter, solidifying his impact on the team&#8217;s offense.\n\nIn addition to his home run, Ohtani extended his streak of consecutive games reaching base to 45, an achievement that places him in fifth place in franchise history since 1900. He surpasses notable figures like Len Koenecke and Zack Wheat, and is only surpassed by legends like Ron Cey, Willie Keeler, Shawn Green, and Duke Snider.\n\nThe Dodgers&#8217; offensive push continued with a three-run homer by Dominican Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez, extending the lead to 4-1. The team managed to maintain this difference to secure the victory.\n\nThis new success adds to Ohtani&#8217;s recent feat, who surpassed Ichiro Suzuki in the longest streak of games reaching base for a player born in Japan in the Major Leagues.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Manager Dave Roberts had anticipated that the Japanese player&#8217;s power would appear at home, after several games getting on base without producing extra-base hits, and it didn&#8217;t take long to confirm it.<\/p><cite>Dave Roberts<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nOhtani&#8217;s streak, which began on August 23 of last season, is currently the longest active in Major League Baseball, reaffirming his position as one of the most prominent figures in baseball.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shohei Ohtani Flexes His Power in Dodgers Victory Los Angeles, USA \u2013 Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese star of the Dodgers, was once again the center of attention by hitting a crucial home run that propelled his team&#8217;s 6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers.
