Shohei Ohtani homer leads Dodgers past Braves, secures record 8-0 start

April 3 (UPI) -- Shohei Ohtani came to the plate in the ninth inning and pummeled the first pitch he saw, hammering the changeup to left center field to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a walk-off win over the Atlanta Braves.

The 399-foot solo shot Wednesday at Dodger Stadium also helped the Dodgers become the first reigning champions to start a season with an 8-0 record, passing the New York Yankees' 7-0 start from 1933.
