Shohei Ohtani hit the first hit in two consecutive days to reach the top of the home run king and lead the Dodgers to capture the Guardians

Shohei Ohtani ignited the game again with a home run from the opener seat when he faced a 96.5mph speedball from Guardians starter Gavin Williams on Monday, and he blasted the ball into the right field stand with a single blow at 115mph muzzle speed to help the Dodgers win 7-2. It was his 19th run of the season, surpassing Aaron Judge and Kyle Schwarber to top the major league home run charts and setting a new career record for two consecutive days of innings.

Following Sunday's opener against Chiga's big opener at Citi Field, Ohtani continued his hot streak. In the fourth inning, he was selected to run back to home plate, and hit second base in the fifth inning, and scored 3 hits and 2 hits in a single game. Dodgers coach Dave Roberts confirmed before the game: "After Sunday's actual shooting practice, he was in good shape and in good shape. "

In Sunday's practice, Ohtani threw 22 balls against five hitters, using speedballs (94-95mph average, 97mph top), slicing balls, and stretching balls, supplemented by lateral slides and knuckles. This is the first time he has faced a real fighter since undergoing surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament of his right elbow in September 2023. Roberts revealed that such training will be scheduled on a weekly basis: "It is expected to be once a week, which may be scheduled on Thursday off-day or adjusted as appropriate." "

The Dodgers are currently at 4.25 points (23rd in the league) in the starting rotation, and Ohtani's return to pitching is highly anticipated. After training on Sunday, it said it was "progressing well" and management plans to work its way through weekly observations. Asked if it would be possible to train on Wednesday, Roberts responded: "It depends on Ohtani's own feelings, but it's unlikely. "

In the seventh inning of this game, Ohtani received a standing ovation from the home crowd when he was substituted. His 115mph kick-off shot in the first inning was the second-fastest of the season (behind 116.2mph on May 26), further cementing the National League MVP competition. With the normalization of weekly pitching training, the countdown to the restart of the Second Knife Flow Legend has begun.
