In the first inning, Ohtani connected with the first pitch to hit a double to right.
He marked his 43rd stolen base of the season in the second inning.
He walked to first base after getting hit by a pitch near his right elbow, which he had an operation on last September. He then stole second base.
At his fifth at-bat in the eighth inning, Ohtani hit a solo home run to left-center, his 43rd homer this season.
