Ohtani later hit a home run. According to Sportscenter, it was the first time a player had hit into a triple play and hit a homer in the same game since 2016, when Freddie Freeman did it for the Braves. Freeman, of course, is now Ohtani's teammate on the Dodgers.

Ohtani, who hit into a triple play in the sixth inning, had given the Dodgers a 6-5 lead in the ninth with a towering home run down the right-field line off Kenley Jansen. It was Ohtani's 43rd homer of the season, breaking a tie with Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber for the National League lead, and extended his home run streak to four games.
