Ohtani uncorked a three-run shot in the second inning, his first in two months, after another three-run blast at Coors Field in Denver off Rockies pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano. Dodger Stadium shook as LA jumped to a 4-0 lead. Ohtani's homer traveled 428 feet at 113.1 mph as Brewers pitcher Dustin May dropped his head in disappointment, and a pumped-up Ohtani immediately gestured to the crowd before taking his bases.‌Milwaukee answered in the fourth when Jake Bauers ripped a two-run ground-rule double. The Brewers erased the deficit in the fifth as David Hamilton singled in a run and Bauers drew a bases-loaded walk.
