Shohei Ohtani homered twice as the Dodgers overcame an Aaron Judge homer and a three-run deficit to beat the Yankees in the first game of their World Series rematch.

Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, both reigning MVPs favored to take home the award again in 2025, traded home runs in the first inning of a three-game series between last year's World Series participants. They were the opening shot of a dramatic 8-5 win for the Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani consistently delivers big plays for the Dodgers, offsetting the absence of other star players and making the team a title contender.
