A night after Teoscar Hernández won the Home Run Derby, Shohei Ohtani hits a three-run home run before the American League prevails in the MLB All-Star Game.
Shohei Ohtani declined the opportunity to participate in this week’s Home Run Derby. But the Dodgers slugger didn’t leave All-Star week in Texas without a memorable big fly. In the third inning of Major League Baseball’s 94th All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Globe Life Field, Ohtani wowed the 39,343-person crowd the best way he knows how: smoking a no-doubt, 400-foot home run halfway up the right-field stands before the American League's eventual 5-3 win over the National League.
As Ohtani came around third, he also put his arms in the air — doing the same hip-shaking, Dragon Ball Z-inspired long-ball celebration that accompanied the NL-leading 29 homers he hit for the Dodgers during the first half of the season. The Dodgers had three other players in Tuesday’s All-Star Game. A night after winning the Home Run Derby, Teoscar Hernández started in center field but went 0 for 2. Catcher Will Smith entered the game in the sixth inning and recorded a single.
