    Shohei Ohtani’s skills have transferred to the National League.

    Ohtani, playing in his first MLB All-Star Game as a member of the Dodgers, crushed a three-run homer in the third inning to put the NL in the lead over the AL at Globe Life Field on Tuesday.

    The two-way star drew a walk in the first inning against Orioles ace Corbin Burnes before stepping up two frames later with Jurickson Profar and Ketel Marte already on base.

    Ohtani went up 2-0 in the count against Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck before sending the third pitch of the at-bat 400 feet to right-center field with an exit velocity of 103.7 mph.

    He became the first Dodgers representative to homer in the All-Star Game since 1996 when Mike Piazza did so before taking home the game’s MVP.

    It marked Ohtani’s second hit in an All-Star Game after he singled and walked during the 2022 Midsummer Classic at Dodger Stadium.

    Ohtani has been an All-Star every year since 2021.
