00:42greatest player in the world.
00:43He's from Japan.
00:44This is his homecoming 50 50 the

00:53and it helps that there's two
00:54natural born Japanese guys
00:55starting on the mound for both
00:57teams.
00:57Speaking of the road they are
00:59the road team in this game.

01:11Shohei Ohtani up against
01:13Shota Imanaga.
01:14What do you expect from the
01:15crowd here at the Tokyo Dome.
01:16I'm going to be honest Kirsten
01:17we've been talking to the whole
01:18group and talking all day.
01:19We don't know because you want
01:21to say that the fans here which
01:23is like ninety five to five in
01:25here the Dodgers are to go nuts
01:26for Shohei Ohtani.
01:28But will their respect for
01:29Shota Imanaga outweigh that.
01:31We'll find out in a few moments
01:32we are moments away.
01:34No for two against Imanaga now
01:36sets his sights on Brown.
01:39Scorched to the right side and
01:41it's Ohtani that's provided the
01:42first hit for the Dodgers.
01:45Pahez goes first to third and he
01:48delivers for these fans as he
01:50always does.
01:51One hundred seven off of the
01:52third inning.
01:53Shota Imanaga is the first hit
01:55for Shohei Ohtani.
02:04Third time in last four innings
02:06the Dodgers have had two runners
02:08aboard.
02:11Down the line his second hit of
02:13the ball game.
02:14This one goes to the wall.
02:16Ohtani starts the ninth with a
02:18double.
02:19His second hit of this ball game
02:21is a hit for our.
02:36Just stays on that pitch doesn't
02:38get out over his front foot.
02:41Keeps the bat going through his
02:42own.
02:46And does the Freddie.
