Shohei Ohtani was the biggest contributor to the Los Angeles Dodgers' 8-0 drubbing of the Cincinnati Reds in the opening game of the wild card series.

In the first inning, he locked on to Hunter Greene's 100.4 mph fastball, hitting a leadoff shot that traveled just 3.6 seconds and clocked in at 117.7 mph, making it the fastest 100 mph-plus home run in the majors since the start of the STATCAST. The team's morale was instantly ignited.

Teammates were "speechless" and pinch-hitter Rushing said, "It's a whole other dimension. The Dodgers' batting line was on fire, with Teoscar Hernández and Tommy Edman adding four more runs in the third and fourth innings, and Ohtani again in the sixth inning with his season's longest blast of 454 feet, sealing the win.

The winning team has advanced in all 12 previous Outlaws Series. The Dodgers can celebrate early with another win and move on to a tougher challenge.
