Watch: Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts hit back-to-back home runs to win game

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Larry Brown | Last updated 9/22/24

Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts delivered a heck of a one-two punch on Sunday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the bottom of the ninth inning against the Colorado Rockies down 5-4. Ohtani led off the frame against Rockies reliever Seth Halvorsen and belted a 2-1 change-up to right-center field for a solo home run that tied the game.

Then Betts came up next and swatted a 102-mph fastball out to left field for a walk-off home run.

Those two players sure know how to make the home fans happy.

That was Ohtani’s 53rd home run of the season. He went 4-for-5 in the game with two runs scored. Not only did he belt his 53rd home run, but he also stole two bases to give him 55 on the season. With two more home runs, Ohtani would create the 55-55 club.
