Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese superstar and American League home run king, hit his 14th home run of the season in a 2-for-5, three-RBI outing against the New York Mets on May 29, 2024. The homer came off right-hander Jorge Lopez's sinker and helped the Los Angeles Dodgers sweep the series with a decisive 10-3 victory. Ohtani's home run was his first since May 17 and his first ever at New York's Citi Field. The two-run blast extended the Dodgers’ lead to 9-3 against the Mets, who were left reeling after a six-run barrage sparked by Will Smith's solo blast. In total, Smith homered twice and pinch-hitter Jason Heyward also cleared the fence as part of a 16-hit day for the Dodgers. The victory was an important one for the team, who had been dealing with concerns over Ohtani's bruised hamstring suffered during their most recent home stand. However, he showed little sign of the ailment as he hit his milestone home run and contributed significantly to the team's success in this series against the Mets.
