Shohei Ohtani homered leading off the game on his second bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium shortly after the Japanese superstar and his dog, Decoy, handled ceremonial first pitch duties.

Decoy, Shohei Ohtanis dog, really just threw out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium.

This might be the greatest day of all time

Decoy, Shohei Ohtanis dog, really just threw out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium.

This might be the greatest day of all time

Ohtani sent a 1-2 pitch from Baltimores Corbin Burnes into right-center for his 42nd homer of the season on Wednesday night. He went 2 for 4 with three runs scored and stole two bases.

I think I was more nervous with the ceremonial pitch than Decoy, Ohtani said through an interpreter. Im glad everything went well.
