A sellout crowd at Rogers Centre lets Ohtani know they felt jilted by his free-agency decision, but the Dodgers extend their winning streak to five games with a 12-2 win.
Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani watches the flight of his solo home run during the first inning of their game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night in Toronto. They went a little off brand at Rogers Centre on Friday night, putting that aside to boo Shohei Ohtani like so many jilted lovers who stored up their animosity since December when false media reports gave them false hope that Ohtani would be starting a deeper, more meaningful relationship with them.
If the sellout crowd of 39,688 came to boo Ohtani, their passion didn’t help the home team . The Dodgers pounded the Blue Jays for 19 hits – including additional home runs from Max Muncy and Will Smith, about whom Toronto fans are ambivalent – on the way to a 12-2 win on Friday night. Six of those runs hounded Bassitt from the game in the third inning, with Muncy’s three-run homer the big blow.
