AI Summary
Shohei Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored, breaking out of a May slump with an opposite-field blast against the Giants.
Ohtani came into this one 4-for-36 in the month of May and hadn't homered in 13 games since April 26. He knocked a base hit and scored a run in the first inning, then led off the third with an opposite-field blast off Adrian Houser. Ohtani later drew a walk in the fifth to reach for a third time. The 31-year-old two-way star is scheduled to take the mound for Wednesday's contest. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Ohtani will likely be held out of the lineup either Wednesday or Thursday. He's hasn't started at designated hitter his last couple of games on the mound. If that's the case again, look for him to take his normal leadoff spot in Thursday's series finale.
