Shohei Ohtani returned to the Dodgers lineup after a few days of rest and immediately made his presence felt, collecting two hits and five RBIs in a 15-2 blowout win over the Los Angeles Angels, according to ESPN.

Among Ohtani's contributions was a two-run triple that turned into a wild sequence after a throwing error allowed him to score as well. He also hit a home run in what ESPN described as a little league homer, a play that added to the lopsided final score.

The Dodgers' 15-2 victory was a commanding performance against their crosstown rivals, with Ohtani driving nearly a third of the team's run production on his own from the two-hit night.
