Shohei Ohtani hits 100th home run with Dodgers as Los Angeles stumbles late in 9-7 loss to Pirates - NBC Sports

Pirates erupt for nine runs to derail Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers 9-7, led by Tommy Pham and Jared Triolo each driving in two. Ohtani logged his 100th Dodgers homer in a two-doubles night, becoming the fastest to 100 with a single team (Dodgers) and surpassing the Angels’ 100-HR pace in games metric. Bubba Chandler was touched for three runs in four innings, but Raleigh-fueled Pittsburgh late surge—Triolo’s two-out, two-run double and a crucial insurance run—sealed the comeback. Teoscar Hernández and Andy Pages homered for LAD, while Henry Davis supplied a key Pirates RBI in the sixth. Next up, Pirates rookie Braxton Ashcraft faces Ohtani’s mound opponent in Braxton’s start.

Fantasy managers get a reminder: Pirates’ balanced attack produced productive nights from Pham, Triolo, and Davis, while Ohtani’s milestone night underscores his continued fantasy relevance despite occasional early-season volatility. Kershaw opened rocky, stabilizing for LAD after a tough first inning, but the Pirates bullpen closed the door late. With Ohtani’s historic milepost and a high-scoring slugfest, the week’s bat-to-ball tempo remains lively for both sides.
