Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani Performs Heroic Act on Bobblehead Night

The most recent hero was none other than Dodgers MVP Shohei Ohtani, who, after Los Angeles was down five runs early in the game, came up with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning and smacked a walk-off home run on his bobblehead night. 

After the game, Ohtani spoke with Dodgers reporter Kirsten Watson through his translator about the game:

"I think the bullpen did a fantastic job bringing us back into the game," said Ohtani. "Max Muncy's timely hit, and all the guys contributing today." 

And Ohtani on his home run:

"Just looking for a really good pitch to hit, but one of the fans were telling me it's your bobblehead night so you better get a hit, and I'm glad I was able to do that."

Ohtani had been held relatively in check throughout the series, having just one hit through the first two games of the series and no extra-base hits. An interesting streak for Ohtani was saved by his walk-off home run, and it is that he has scored a run in all eight games the Dodgers have played this season. 

All fans in attendance received an Ohtani bobblehead, so being the Los Angeles star he is, it had to be rewarding for the Dodger faithful to not only see a great come-from-behind victory but also the team's best player ending the game in the final at-bat.
