In June, Shohei Ohtani (29), a Major League Baseball player for the Los Angeles Dodgers who was in great form, hit his 22nd home run in two consecutive games.

This will be Ohtani’s first official game against his former team, the Los Angeles Angels.
He had a smiling reunion with his former colleagues.

On the 22nd, he started as the leadoff hitter and designated hitter, and in his third at-bat with two outs and a runner on first base, he hit a massive 22nd two-run home run, flying 139 meters.

With his first home run with his former team, he extended his lead over second-placed NL player, Marcell Ozuna, to two home runs.

Furthermore, he hit an infield hit in the next at-bat, and on the 22nd, he had two hits in two at-bats. His batting average also rose to the top of the league.

When asked why he has been in such good form, hitting five home runs in his last six games, he said, “Today was good too. I knew it would go in the moment I hit it. First of all, my stance is stable, and I have a good grasp of the strike zone. I think that ultimately leads to me being able to hit easy pitches well.”

Meanwhile, Chicago Cubs player Shota Imanaga gave up three home runs and a season-worst 10 runs.

He suffered his second loss, and his ERA dropped from the single digits to 2.96.
