Shohei Ohtani breaks homer-less streak, right after Dodgers say they will give him break from batter's box

Shohei Ohtani ended an 11-game homerless streak on Tuesday, May 13, 2026, hitting a 398-foot home run in the third inning against San Francisco Giants pitcher Adrian Houser, his first homer since April 26. The blast came just as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had announced plans to give Ohtani a rest day on Thursday and potentially sit him on offense during his Wednesday pitching start against San Francisco. Despite the home run, Ohtani's overall numbers remain below his recent norms early in the 2026 season.
