Shohei Ohtani's impressive home run streak was halted Friday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Boston Red Sox with a score of 5-2. Ohtani, a key player for the Dodgers, was unable to hit a home run during the game.
In the game, Ohtani had a mixed performance at the plate. He recorded two strikeouts, managed a single, drew a walk, and hit a foul popup. Despite not hitting a home run, his recent performance has been noteworthy.
Ohtani's five-game home run streak places him in a tie with several other Dodgers players in the team's history. This accomplishment is a testament to his skill and consistency. The last Dodger to achieve a similar feat was Max Muncy in 2019.
In a crucial moment during the top of the ninth inning, with the Dodgers leading and runners on base, the Red Sox made a pitching change. Manager Alex Cora brought in left-handed pitcher Brennan Bernardino to face Ohtani. Ultimately, Ohtani popped up foul to the catcher, ending his final at-bat of the game.

Ohtani has been incredible this season overall. Let’s trust he’ll bounce back from this!

Ohtani seriously needs to step up. Two strikeouts? That's unacceptable for someone of his caliber.

Keep in mind that even legends have off-days. He’ll come back stronger!

His streak was amazing! Let’s not forget how dominant he’s been this season overall.

I expected way more from him, especially in a game against a strong opponent like the Red Sox.

A player of his stature shouldn't let a five-game streak end like that. We need better!
