LOS ANGELES - Shohei Ohtani launched his first leadoff home run of the season and extended his record on-base streak for a Japanese-born major leaguer as the Los Angeles Dodgers outgunned the Texas Rangers 6-3 on Saturday.
The two-way superstar reached base for the 45th consecutive regular-season game with his 390-foot (119-meter) shot to the right-field seats off Jack Leiter (1-1), moving two games ahead of the previous record set by Ichiro Suzuki in 2009.
