Part 4/12:
The game’s first inning set the tone with Otani striking out the side in spectacular fashion after a 13-day hiatus from pitching. His ability to come back with such dominance was awe-inspiring, especially considering his impressive power at the plate. Otani smashed a 469-foot home run—the longest of the night—breaking stadium records and leaving fans in disbelief. The Dodgers even planned to erect a plaque where that ball landed, a testament to just how monumental Otani’s performance was.
