Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani has broken Hideki Matsui\'s record for the most homers hit by a Japanese-born player in Major League Baseball.
Ohtani crushed a two-run homer deep into the right-field bleachers off Adrian Houser of the New York Mets in the third inning of L.A.\'s 10-0 win Sunday at Dodger Stadium.
The homer was the 176th of Ohtani\'s six-plus seasons in the majors. That\'s one more than Matsui, the former New York Yankees slugger who played the final 10 seasons of his 20-year pro career in North America.
