Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-5 win over the Pirates.
Ohtani's blast sparked a five-run rally for the Dodgers in the third inning. He's gone just 6-for-30 (.200) over seven games in August, but three of his knocks in that span have been homers, giving him 35 on the year -- one ahead of Atlanta's Marcell Ozuna for the National League lead. Ohtani is slashing .302/.389/.622 with 83 RBI, 87 runs scored, 32 steals, 29 doubles and four triples over 113 contests this season.
