Ohtani homers as Dodgers sweep Cubs in Japan
Briefly

In a thrilling matchup at the Tokyo Dome, Shohei Ohtani marked his return by hitting a crucial solo homer, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers swept the two-game series in Japan, with Kiké Hernández and Tommy Edman also contributing with home runs. Roki Sasaki made his MLB debut, struggling with walks but impressing with his strikeouts. The game highlighted key moments, including a spectacular defensive play from shortstop Miguel Rojas. Both teams now prepare for their domestic season openers later in March.
Ohtani's homer in the fifth barely cleared the right-center fence and was confirmed after review, giving the Dodgers a 6-2 lead.
Sasaki gave up one run and one hit while striking out three, but also walked five batters, including one that forced in a run.
