LOS ANGELES -- A.J. Minter, a lefty reliever who has made a living taming the game's most menacing left-handed sluggers, threw a 94-mph fastball right down the middle to Shohei Ohtani in Sunday's eighth inning and paid a heavy price. What followed was one of the most prodigious home runs of Ohtani's career -- a 111-mph, 464-foot drive into the deepest portion of center field at Dodger Stadium.

It was Ohtani's second homer of the afternoon, third in a stretch of two games and 10th this season, tying him with Marcell Ozuna, Gunnar Henderson and former teammate Mike Trout for the major-league lead.
