On Wednesday, he hit his 37th home run of the year, extending his home run streak to five consecutive games and tying a historic record for the Los Angeles Dodgers.\n\nThe solo home run against the Twins&#8217; starter, Chris Paddack, in the first inning, made him the seventh Dodgers player to achieve a streak of at least five consecutive games with a home run. Ohtani joins legendary club figures like Roy Campanella (1950), Shawn Green (2001), Matt Kemp (2010), Adri\u00e1n Gonz\u00e1lez (2014-15), Joc Pederson (2015), and Max Muncy (2019).\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n  \n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SHOHEI OHTANI HAS HOMERED IN FIVE STRAIGHT GAMES \ud83d\ude31<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nWith this home run, Ohtani not only tied the team&#8217;s internal record, but also regained the home run lead in the National League, surpassing the Venezuelan Eugenio Su\u00e1rez. At the MLB level, only Cal Raleigh (39) currently surpasses him.\n\nDespite their outstanding offensive streak, the Dodgers have only won two of the last five games. However, on Wednesday they achieved an exciting 4-3 victory over Minnesota, thanks to a walk-off single by Freddie Freeman in the ninth inning that left the Twins on the field.\n\nOhtani, who the night before had hit his 36th home run against the Dominican Jhoan Dur\u00e1n, breaking a streak of more than a year without allowing home runs by the closer, has demonstrated his power after the All-Star break. Since last Friday, he has hit the ball in every game played.\n\nIn addition to his contribution with the bat, Ohtani has also pitched recently, although his offensive production had decreased since he returned to the mound on June 16. During that period, he batted only for .200 in 26 games, although he maintained his long-range threat with seven home runs.\n\nWith the season in progress and the Dodgers fighting to stay on top of the West, Ohtani&#8217;s contribution becomes increasingly important. The franchise is confident that his dual role as a hitter and pitcher will continue to drive them towards the playoffs.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles, USA \u2013 Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese sensation, continues to shine in the 2025 season.
