The Los Angeles Dodgers came from behind to beat the New York Yankees 8-5 on Friday night as Ohtani went 2-for-5 with two home runs.

In the first meeting between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees since October's electric World Series, Judge and Ohtani both went yard, with Judge kicking things off at the top of the first inning. Ohtani responded with a home run of his own to even things up and end the first frame knotted up.

Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, both of them reigning MVPs favored to take home the award again in 2025, traded home runs in the first inning of a three-game series between last year's World Series participants.
