In a game where Blake Snell recorded double-digit strikes in his first game at Dodger Stadium since April, the headlines once again go to Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, who officially joined the 40 home run club with an absolute no-doubter to center field.

Shohei Ohtani hit his 40th home run of the season Saturday night, the fourth time the Dodgers' two-way star has hit the mark in his career.

Facing a 1-1 count, Ohtani timed Cardinals pitcher Kyle Leahy 's 92 mph sinker perfectly, winding his bat up and launching the ball 440 feet toward center field and into the stands to give the Dodgers their first lead of the game, 2-1.
