TORONTO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani followed his two-way show for the ages with a homer in the Dodgers' World Series opener, but he also grounded out with the bases loaded in Los Angeles' 11-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.
With LA trailing 11-2 in the seventh inning, Ohtani hit a soaring two-run shot to right field off Braydon Fisher. It was his fourth homer in two games after connecting three times and striking out 10 as a pitcher in a Game 4 win to clinch the Dodgers' NL Championship Series.
Ohtani's homer Friday didn't do much for Los Angeles' chances after a flop by the Dodgers' pitchers. Starter Blake Snell was knocked out of the game before getting an out in the sixth inning, and Toronto then pummeled the bullpen during a nine-run sixth highlighted by Addison Barger's pin
