Shohei Ohtani hits home run in 1st game vs. Angels image

Shohei Ohtani can't stop hitting baseballs over the fence. 

In Friday night's game, his first against his former team the Angels, Ohtani gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead with a two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth. It was his 22nd home run of the year, and his fifth in the last six games.

The two-run blast was Ohtani's first against the Angels, which means he has now homered against 28 of 30 MLB teams. Only the Phillies and Cardinals have kept him in the yard in their 15 combined games against them.
