Rockies Rally Past the Dodgers 4-3 After 2 Errors in the Eighth
Ohtani became the first Japanese-born player to reach 300 MLB homers, but two Dodgers errors helped Colorado rally for a 4-3 win.
On Tuesday, Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani hit his 300th career home run at Dodger Stadium, becoming the first Japanese-born player in MLB history to reach the milestone.
Ohtani launched a 409-foot blast off Colorado Rockies starter Michael Lorenzen, giving the Dodgers an early 1-0 lead and marking the milestone in his ninth season.
Two errors by the Dodgers in the eighth inning led to three runs, with shortstop Miguel Rojas misplaying a throw to third during a decisive squeeze play.
Reliever Will Klein surrendered the lead after a potential double play failed, while Juan Meijia earned the win for Colorado with two innings of relief.
