Shohei Ohtani entered play Monday in the midst of four straight multihit games, the first two of which included his first two Dodgers home runs.
When Shohei Ohtani hit his first home run as a Dodger last Wednesday, Dave Roberts had a suspicion it might spark the superstar’s bat. “He’s very close,” the manager said then. “I expect this to continue.” With six hits, two doubles, one triple, three RBIs and another home run from Ohtani in the three games since, Roberts is now sure of it.
“I swung a cricket bat and got two hits ,” Ohtani said with a laugh Monday afternoon. “I’m thinking about doing it again today.” The more important factor behind Ohtani’s recent hot streak, however, seems to be the sense of relief he felt after depositing his first home run as a Dodger into the Chavez Ravine seats. Ohtani acknowledged there was a mental burden that was lifted after breaking his eight-game home run drought.
