LOS ANGELES - Shohei Ohtani got straight back into the swing of things for the Los Angeles Dodgers after missing a game for the birth of his second child, blasting his 16th home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
Ohtani delivered a solo shot to center field in the ninth inning to complete a 1-for-4 outing at Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto (7-5) took the loss after allowing three runs on six hits over six innings.
In other Major League Baseball action, Kazuma Okamoto hit a go-ahead three-run homer as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago Cubs 8-6.
Okamoto went deep in the eighth inning, marking his 16th homer of the season and first in six games, and finished 1-for-3 with three RBIs at Wrigley Field.
"I was able to swing through (the ball) firmly, and I'm glad it turned into a home run," Okamoto said.
"It's nice to be able to deliver in that kind of situation, and when another opportunity like that comes, I want to make a good swing again."
