Shohei Ohtani hit two homers and Clayton Kershaw pitched seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 11-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants.

After going ten games without a home run, Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani ended his drought with a monster home run versus the Giants.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed the chances that Shohei Ohtani returns to the mound before the All-Star break.

The state of L.A.'s injury-riddled pitching staff is alarming. But Ohtani is too valuable to rush back to the mound.

Kershaw throws seven scoreless innings in his 61st career appearance against the Giants, while Ohtani ends a 10-game homer drought with two blasts in the Dodgers’ 11-5 win.

Shohei Ohtani could pitch before the All-Star break, and Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow also make good progress in their return from injuries.

Ohtani threw just under 50 pitches to two minor league hitters during the third simulated game in his gradual comeback to the mound. The three-time MVP used his fastball and sweeper impressively, according to Roberts and Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior.

Shohei Ohtani had a quiet night on Monday as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 8-7 in 10 innings. Ohtani doubled in his first at-bat, but was held hitless the rest of the night.
