Ohtani Launches Two as Dodgers Take Game 5 From Yankees

Shohei Ohtani hit two home runs and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Yankees 7-5 in Game 5 of the World Series on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.

Ohtani became the first player in World Series history with a multi-homer game following a 50-50 regular season. Aaron Judge hit a solo shot in the sixth for New York, but the Dodgers bullpen threw three scoreless innings to close it out.

"This is what I came here for," Ohtani said through an interpreter.

Los Angeles leads the series 3-2. Game 6 is Friday at Dodger Stadium.
