Shohei Ohtani Powers Dodgers to Thrilling Comeback Victory Over Diamondbacks
Phoenix—In a nail-biting showdown on Friday night, Shohei Ohtani led the Los Angeles Dodgers to a stunning 14-11 comeback win against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Ohtani, the reigning National League MVP, delivered a tiebreaking three-run homer in the ninth inning, his 12th of the season, which capped off a six-run rally for the Dodgers. Ohtani’s performance included four RBIs and an impressive 3-for-6 batting display that began with back-to-back doubles.
After a rocky start from 23-year-old Roki Sasaki, who allowed five runs before being pulled in the fifth, the Dodgers rallied from an 11-8 deficit. Arizona took control with two homers in the eighth but couldn’t hold on as the Dodgers charged back. With the game tied and two runners on base, Ohtani’s decisive hit sent the ball soaring into right field, igniting celebrations and securing the Dodgers’ victory.
“Games like this don’t happen often,” Ohtani remarked, highlighting the excitement of the match. The Dodgers will look to build on this momentum as they continue their season.
