Shohei Ohtani tied a Los Angeles Dodgers franchise record as he homered for the fifth consecutive game on Wednesday.The two-way star, who has recently returned to playing both sides of the ball, helped inspire his team to their first series win since the 2025 MLB All-Star break, against the Minnesota Twins.Ohtani set a Dodgers record with another home run on WednesdayGettyOhtani, who leads the National League with 37 home runs, went deep off Minnesota starter Chris Paddack in the first inning of a 4-3 walk-off victory.The last Major League star to homer in five straight games was Aaron Judge for the New York Yankees, from September 21-26 last year.‘Showtime’ has become the first to do it for the Dodgers since Max Muncy in 2019.Only five others have hit homers in five straight for the team — Joc Pederson in 2015, Adrian Gonzalez in 2014-15, Matt Kemp in 2010, Shawn Green in 2001 and Roy Campanella in 1950.The Major League record for consecutive games with a home run is eight.It is shared by Dale Long (1956), Don Mattingly (1987) and Ken Griffey Jr. (1993).Ohtani, whose $700 million contract has been criticized by Travis Kelce, will hope to join them as the Dodgers head to Fenway Park for a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox this weekend.Manager Dave Roberts was asked if his left-handed star can tie that record after the win against Minnesota.“I don’t know that answer,” he said. “I do know that if he has the same approach that he’s had the last week, that Green Monster is very short. So any fly ball that he hits will be a homer.Ohtani’s latest homer came in the first inning against the TwinsGettyHe has now gone deep in five straight games, and is chasing the all-time recordGetty“He’s just got to continue to have that same approach when we go to Boston, and then we’ll see what happens.”While he will have the home run record in his sights, Ohtani already ended a 70-year MLB drought against the Twins.The Japanese star scored the game-winning run in the ninth inning after getting intentionally walked — and made history in the process.“Intentional walks became an official MLB statistic 70 years ago, in 1955,” OptaSTATS posted on X.“Since then, only one player has been intentionally walked with his team an out away from losing and nobody in scoring position — and then come around to score the winning run: Shohei Ohtani.”Before he was walked by Twins reliever Griffin Jax, Tommy Edman and Michael Conforto each began the ninth inning with a lineout.The Dodgers secured a dramatic win in the ninth inning, after Ohtani was walkedGettyWith LA an out away from losing their second consecutive series, Mookie Betts then reached first base with a hit, which allowed Ohtani to step up to the plate, down 3-2.Jax gave him a free pass, and then walked Esteury Ruiz to load up the bases.Ohtani, the 2024 MVP, then raced home on Freddie Freeman’s walk-off hit for the deciding margin.It was the Dodgers’ eighth walk-off win of the season, and it takes their record to 60-43. After making 70-year MLB history against the Twins, all eyes will be on Ohtani as he chases down the home run record in Boston.
