Shohei Ohtani hit two home runs and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the New York Yankees 8-5 in a rematch of last year's World Series

Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani kept one-upping each other through the Yankees’ 8-5 loss Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Judge hit a 416-foot homer to center two batters in, then Ohtani started the Dodgers first with a first-pitch, 417-foot bomb to center off Yankees ace Max Fried.

Shohei Ohtani consistently delivers big plays for the Dodgers, offsetting the absence of other star players and making the team a title contender.

If this was a preview to this year’s World Series, an encore after their 2024 World Series, let’s flip the calendar to October now.
