The Shohei Show left them awestruck at Coors Field in the Dodgers' 11-5 win over the Rockies on Monday night. NL MVP candidate Shohei Ohtani smacked two home runs – a leadoff blast in the fifth and a two-run shot in the sixth -- as the Dodgers blitzed the Rockies' pitching staff. Ohtani's second was his 29th of the season, to go along with 78 RBIs. It was his 11th career four-hit game and his fifth with the Dodgers.
