Dodgers walk off on Ohtani's home run

LOS ANGELES: Shohei Ohtani flipped the script on a nightmare first couple of weeks in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers kept their season-opening win streak alive by rallying from an early five-run deficit to earn a 6-5 victory over the visiting Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.

Ohtani had a game-tying two-run double in the eighth to atone for two early errors as the Dodgers became the first defending champions to open a season 7-0 since Toronto in 1987.

Teammate Mookie Betts and manager Dave Roberts both seemed to rocky outing. All five runs Snell allowed over four innings were unearned while he walked one and hit two opponents.

Ohtani's home run, his first of the season, came on the first pitch from right-hander Raisel Iglesias (0-1) and sent a near sold-out crowd into a frenzy on the star's first of four bobblehead nights this season. Rookie Jack Flaherty (1-1) pitched two scoreless innings for his first career win.
