The reigning Most Valuable Players of the American and National Leagues didn't take long to get going in the star-studded rematch of the 2024 World Series.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani countered New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge's home run with a first pitch shot of his own Friday.

For Shohei Ohtani, they can result in home runs. The Japanese star became the third player in Dodgers history to reach 20 homers in the team’s first 55 games with a two-run towering drive during the fourth inning against the Cleveland Guardians.
