Shohei Ohtani homered for the fifth consecutive game on Wednesday, tying a Los Angeles Dodgers franchise record. Yankees star Aaron Judge was the last player to homer in five consecutive games, accomplishing that feat last year.
As shortstop Mookie Betts has posted a career low .238/.311/.373 slash line so far this season, manager Dave Roberts made the surprising move to slot him into the leadoff position. That decision might jumpstart Betts' offense, but it also moved the team's best player, Shohei Ohtani, out of the leadoff spot.
