Watch: Ohtani hits walk-off HR on his bobblehead night

Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers are red hot in the early part of the season in their pursuit of another World Series championship.

Ohtani hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning for a 6-5 victory.

The defending champions remain undefeated to start the season after Ohtani helped lift the Dodgers past the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night. The Dodgers become the first reigning champion to start the season 8-0, passing the 1933 New York Yankees.

Ohtani’s home run, his third of the season, came on the first pitch from righthander Raisel Iglesias.

His home run provided another reason for the fans to leave Dodger Stadium happy, after some had already arrived at the park early to receive their bobblehead of the Japanese superstar.

Shohei Ohtani stats

Ohtani has 10 hits in 30 at-bats with three home runs, 11 runs and 3 RBIs through the first eight games of the season for the Dodgers.
