LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani has broken Hideki Matsui's record for the most homers hit by a Japanese-born player in Major League Baseball.

Ohtani crushed a two-run homer deep into the right-field bleachers off Adrian Houser of the New York Mets in the third inning of L.A.'s 10-0 win Sunday at Dodger Stadium.

The homer was the 176th of Ohtani's six-plus seasons in the majors.
