Shohei Otani hit his 15th home run at a crucial moment. The third at-bat of the 6th inning was 0-0. He perfectly caught Rays starting pitcher Rasmussen’s inside cutter, and the ball went straight to the back screen. It was his No. 15 solo home run that broke the deadlock. Rasmussen has kept the Dodgers batting lineup scoreless so far, and Dodgers starting pitcher Robleski has also pitched six scoreless innings. It was a valuable shot in a tense pitching battle in which both pitchers refused to yield. Moreover, it came at the perfect time for Robleski to take the lead after pitching out of the 6th inning. It was a blow that greatly changed the flow of the game. Otani is scheduled to be the starting pitcher tomorrow, but he did a great job as a batter that day. He is also in great shape with his 5th home run in the last 5 games. Now that we’re entering June, his favorite month, his batting power is gaining more and more momentum. Otani looked happy when he returned to the bench. This one point was the deciding point, leading the Dodgers to victory. #Dodgers #Baseball #Homerun
