Shohei Ohtani reminded both sides of the Pacific why he’s a champion on Tuesday in Tokyo.
The Los Angeles Dodgers star led his team to a 4-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs in the 2025 season opener, which comes five months after winning his first World Series title. Following a first pitch that came in around 3am in LA, Ohtani doubled, singled and scored twice in the first leg of the two-game Tokyo Series.
