It was the 176th home run of Ohtani's MLB career and represented a milestone for the player born in Oshu, Iwate, Japan. It put him on top of the list of home run leaders among players born in Japan, ahead of Hideki Matsui...
Ohtani has never played in the MLB playoffs, having spent the first six years of his career with the Angels before signing with the Dodgers. A reporter asked Ohtani if his next goal was to match the postseason success of Matsui as a Yankee; Ohtani responded that he first wants to break his manager's home run record.
