Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani found one more way to leave his mark in the MLB record books on Sunday, breaking Hideki Matsui's record for most home runs by a Japanese born player.
Ohtani hit his 176th career homer in the third inning of their game against the New York Mets on Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. He hit a 423-foot shot off of Mets starter Adrian Houser into the right-field stands, which gave the Dodgers an early 2-0 lead.
Matsui left the high water mark in his final MLB season in 2012, with few serious challengers since then.
