LOS ANGELES - The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers beat MVPS Judge Aaron and Shohei Ohtani in the first innings to explode in the first innings in a rematch at last year's World Series Friday night.

The judge shot fireworks in a 446-foot solo, shooting the death center out of Tony Gonsolin's 1-1 field. The Yankees tied for third with Kyle Schwarber for the 19th home run this season.

Ohtani matched him with a 417-foot home run at the bottom of the frame, centering on Max Fried’s first court, in front of a sold-out crowd of 53,276.

A smiling judge said, "I think he is imitating me."

This is the first time to dominate the MVP in the first inning in Major League Baseball history. Barry Bonds of San Francisco and Miguel Tejada of Oakland were the first MVP to dominate Homer on June 30, 2002 in the same game, including the World Series.

Ohtani said through an interpreter: "I really think it's important to be able to play another game in this situation, and it's important to know that this momentum is really important."

The judge underestimated the tits with Ohtani.

"Try not to think about it," he said. "I have a job on the court to do. I have to do the game and score some points for the team. You try not to be too hype."

Ohtani led the sixth shot to the right center with a solo shot, and after missing, he hurried to the first base. This sparked four games, giving the Dodgers an 8-5 victory, the 19th victory of the season.

Long balls extended Ohtani's major league lead to 22.

"We always seem to be doing well when Shohei is obviously doing well," said first baseman Freddie Freeman. "I heard an ode to the MVP and he's really good on the way to do it again."

According to Optastats, Ohtani has 60 runs this season, making him the first player to reach his target by June since 1901.

The Japanese superstar has hit five home runs in the last five games, four of which are on the first or second courts.

Ohtani was most impressed with the consistency on the plate.

"Continue to raise the numbers there year after year," he said. "Every bat, you don't know if he'll tear the ball at me in the right area or if he's going to be on the top-fried first ball heater across the street."

The Dodgers beat the Yankees in five games and won the eighth World Championship in 2024.
