Shohei Ohtani ended a 25-game homer drought with a three-run blast off Brewers right-hander Dustin May in the second inning. The shot came at a moment when the Dodgers needed a spark, and Ohtani delivered it. A quarter-season without a home run is a long stretch for a player of his caliber, especially one expected to carry offensive load down the stretch. This homer gets him back on track and reminds everyone what he's capable of when locked in at the plate. The timing matters too. Long droughts can mess with a hitter's confidence, even elite ones. One swing against May breaks that spell and potentially shifts momentum going forward.
