Shohei Ohtani ended a crucial offensive drought during Game 6 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.
Going into the game, Ohtani has been silent on the attacking front for Los Angeles. He hasn't landed a hit since his home run in the seventh inning of Game 3, leaving a major hole in his team's offense. This allowed Toronto to take the momentum of the series, boasting a 3-2 lead going into Game 6.
Fortunately for the Dodgers, Ohtani finally woke up. His highlight took place in the top of the eighth inning, landing a solid double to left field.
