PHOENIX (AP) — Shohei Ohtani tied his career high with his 54th home run, hitting a splash shot into the Chase Field swimming pool for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.

Ohtani reached down for a changeup from Arizona’s Nabil Crismatt for a 406-foot, two-run drive in the fourth inning, which boosted the lead to 6-0.

He also hit 54 homers last season, his first with the Dodgers. The 31-year-old’s best in six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels was 46 in 2021.

Ohtani has 101 RBIs, reaching 100 for the third time.

The two-way star is 1-1 with a 2.87 ERA in 14 mound starts following his return from elbow surgery.
