Ohtani takes Misiorowski deep before Brewers rookie fans 12

MILWAUKEE -- Shohei Ohtani greeted Jacob Misiorowski with a leadoff homer, but the Milwaukee Brewers ' rookie phenom got the last word.

After allowing Ohtani's 431-foot blast, Misiorowski responded with another dominant outing. He struck out a career-high 12 batters -- including two-way superstar Ohtani in the third inning -- to lead the Brewers to a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.

"It's Shohei Ohtani," Misiorowski said. "You kind of expect [that]. It's cool to see him do it in action, but it fires me up even more coming back the next at bat and striking him out.
