Shohei Ohtani on Wednesday tattooed a 100 MPH fastball from Pirates rookie Paul Skenes for a two-run home run. It was his 15th home run of the year, but it also marked his first home run ever at PNC Park.
The opener of the Dodgers-Pirates series on Tuesday was the first time Ohtani had faced the Pirates in Pittsburgh, so Wednesday was only his second chance to hit a homer there.
He took full advantage of that chance in the third inning. Skenes got the better of the Dodgers designated hitter in the first inning, but Ohtani got an elevated fastball in the third and hammered it over the centerfield fence.
With PNC Park now checked off there remain only five MLB stadiums where Ohtani hasn't hit a homer.
Only Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Chase Field in Arizona, Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati and loanDepot Park in Miami remain.
The Dodgers have one series left at all of those stadiums except Great American Ballpark where Ohtani went homerless in their lone three-game series there May 24-26.
