Shohei Ohtani delivered a clutch two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning on September 9, 2023, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5-4 victory over the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium. The game-winning hit came off Padres reliever Jhony Brito, capping off a dramatic comeback after the Dodgers trailed by two runs in the eighth. Ohtani, who also pitched a scoreless inning earlier in the game, continues to showcase his rare two-way dominance as both a hitter and a pitcher.
