Shohei Ohtani set a Dodgers franchise record with 29 home runs at Dodger Stadium this season, helping the team maintain a four-game lead in the NL West, officials said.
- On Saturday night, Shohei Ohtani launched a 403-foot homer in the sixth inning, his 53rd, tying for the National League lead as the Los Angeles Dodgers overcame a four-run deficit to beat the San Francisco Giants 7-5 at Dodger Stadium.
- In the first inning, the Giants erupted with a four-run surge, highlighted by Bryce Eldridge's bases-clearing three-run double, his first big-league hit, against Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow.
- Max Muncy's two-run homer started the rally, Tommy Edman's homer gave LA the lead, and Michael Conforto's solo tied the game early in the comeback.
- The win moved the Dodgers to 88-67 and retained a four-game NL West lead with seven games remaining, lowering their magic number to three and keeping clinch scenarios alive for Monday.
- They look to carry momentum into Sunday, September 21 against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium before heading to Oracle Park on September 22 to face the St. Louis Cardinals.
