Ohtani's Walk-off Homer Boosts Dodgers To 8-0 With Another Comeback Win

Shohei Ohtani met the moment again, and his latest theatrics have the Los Angeles Dodgers perfect to start the season.

The Japanese superstar hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth inning on his bobblehead night, lifting the Dodgers over the winless Atlanta Braves 6-5 on Wednesday.

"If I didn't get a good pitch to hit, I was willing to walk," Ohtani said through a translator. "Coming into the inning, tied in that last at-bat, it just felt like we really had a good shot to win."

At 8-0, the Dodgers are off to the best start ever by a defending World Series champion. They've trailed in six of those games, but they already have two walk-off wins. And Ohtani has scored in every game.

"Overall, not just tonight, there is a really good vibe within the team," he said, 'so I just think that's allowing us to come back in these games to win."
