Shohei Ohtani crushes 32nd home run into San Francisco's McCovey Cove
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani splashed his 32nd home run
of the season into San Francisco's McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall
Friday night.
It marked the 65th home run into the water by an opponent in Oracle Park's
25-year history and 171st in all --- and 35 of those belong to home run king
Barry Bonds.
Ohtani connected with one out in the third inning for a two-run drive after
Hyeseong Kim's leadoff single marked the first hit of the night for Los Angeles
against Giants starter Logan Webb.
Set to make his fifth start on the mound pitching Saturday, Ohtani crushed a
91.1 mph cutter on Webb's first offering of the at-bat and the ball traveled
410 feet. A kayaker immediately jumped into the water to retrieve the special
souvenir ball.
The blast put the Dodgers up 2-1.
