Snider was an 18-year veteran of the Dodgers, the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants, hitting .295 for his career with 407 home runs. He spent 16 seasons with the Dodgers franchise, playing five years in Los Angeles and 11 in Brooklyn. That 1955 season came when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn.

He was an eight-time All-Star and a two-time World Series champion, leading the majors in RBIs (136) in 1955. He also led the National League in home runs (43) in 1956. He was inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1980.

As for Ohtani, his home run helped aid his cause on the mound, too. He threw three innings, marking his longest start in his return from Tommy John surgery. He surrendered one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three. He threw 46 pitches (30 strikes).

The Dodgers and Twins will play each other again on Tuesday night with first pitch coming at 10:10 p.m. ET. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (LAD) pitches against Simeon Woods Richardson (MIN).
