Shohei Ohtani hit a game-winning home run to left-center field in the ninth inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers kept their season-opening win streak alive by rallying from an early five-run deficit to earn a 6-5 victory over the visiting Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.
"Shohei being Shohei at the end," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "What better way to finish the game on his bobblehead night (than) with a walk-off homer."
Max Muncy had a game-tying two-run double in the eighth to atone for two early errors as the Dodgers became the first defending champion to open a season 8-0. The Braves dropped to 0-7 as they head toward their home opener on Friday.
