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.

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.

Shohei Ohtani is normally used to hitting long home runs, but the MLB star found himself in a weird position against the Angels.
