Ohtani's 1st multi-HR game of '26 not enough to stop Dodgers' skid

Shohei Ohtani hit his first multi-home run game of 2026 on August 5th, including a leadoff shot off Shota Imanaga and a two-run homer in the 8th inning, but the Los Angeles Dodgers still fell to the Chicago Cubs 7-6 at Wrigley Field. The loss extended the Dodgers' season-high losing streak to six games, marking only their second such streak since April 2019. With his 11th leadoff homer of the season, Ohtani now has 29 leadoff home runs as a Dodger, moving him past Davey Lopes into second place in franchise history.
