Considering how much the Dodgers have struggled lately, they'll need every bit of Shohei Ohtani's talent on the mound and at the plate as he continues to build up as a pitcher.

Ohtani returned to the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday for the first time since the All-Star break in their matchup with the Minnesota Twins. Though he gave up a home run right off the bat at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani made sure that the Dodgers were back out in front by the time he returned for the second inning.

The two-way star started Monday’s game for the Dodgers on the mound and was also hitting second in the lineup.
