Shohei Ohtani home run caps wild ninth-inning comeback in Dodgers’ win over Arizona

PHOENIX — The roof was open. The air was hot. And in a stadium already known as a hitter’s paradise, the Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks teed off on one another in a Chase Field classic.

There were lead changes and sudden momentum shifts. Line-drive rockets and towering no-doubt blasts. The ejection of Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior, and a last-gasp ninth-inning comeback from their offense.

Most of all, there was Shohei Ohtani.

With two on and one out in a tied game in the ninth, Ohtani turned a riveting early May night into one of the most memorable games of his Dodger career, launching a go-ahead three-run home run that lifted the Dodgers to a 14-11 win.
