Shohei Ohtani snapped out of his recent slump with a dominant performance Saturday night, driving in a season-high five runs to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers past the Angels 15-2. The two-way star went 2-for-4 with two walks and scored twice, marking his first five-RBI game since June 22, 2025.

Ohtani's most memorable moment came in the eighth inning with what amounted to a Little League home run. After hitting a ball into the right-field corner that bounced awkwardly off new netting installed at Angel Stadium, Angels outfielder Jo Adell failed to play the ball cleanly. Ohtani rounded the bases and scored on a throwing error, capping a two-run triple that perfectly captured his aggressive baserunning.

The breakout performance came after Ohtani endured an 0-for-17 skid from April 29 to May 4, which had raised questions about his early-season form. Manager Dave Roberts believed the few days off provided the reset Ohtani needed to rediscover his rhythm at the plate.

Ohtani's five RBIs matched his best output since joining the Dodgers, giving fans hope that the two-time MVP is returning to form just as the team enters the heart of their season schedule.
