Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani holds the Major League Baseball record for the most home runs hit by a Japanese-born player.
He does not, however, hold that record on his own team.
That one still belongs to manager Dave Roberts — at least for the time being.
During the third inning of the Dodgers’ 10-0 win over the New York Mets on Sunday, Ohtani blasted a shot off pitcher Adrian Houser over the right-field fence for a two-run home run.
It was the 176th home run of Ohtani’s MLB career and represented a milestone for the player born in Oshu, Iwate, Japan.
