Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages each hit milestone home runs as the Los Angeles Dodgers wrapped up a challenging homestand with a commanding 10-0 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday.
Tyler Glasnow (4-1) demonstrated control, striking out 10 batters over eight innings as the Dodgers secured only their third win during the recently completed nine-game homestand, which saw them lose all three series. Despite this win, Los Angeles has struggled, managing just a 3-7 record since April 10.
Ohtani’s home run in the third inning marked a significant milestone, breaking Hideki Matsui’s record for the most home runs by a Japanese-born player in MLB history, with 176. Meanwhile, Pages hit his first career home run in just his fifth game.
The Mets’ six-game winning streak came to an end as they were limited to seven hits, all singles. Prior to this loss, New York had rebounded from a 0-5 start to the season, going 12-3.
