It took a few games, but Shohei Ohtani is back to looking like the 2021 AL MVP at the plate (and that’s putting aside his pitching excellence!).

Ohtani cranked two dingers (including one on the game’s opening pitch) on Friday against the Texas Rangers, and he’s hit another blast in the eighth inning against the Rangers on Saturday.

Three homers in two games for a two-way superstar that had 46 homers in 2021.

The CPR Ohtani gave to his bat seemingly worked!

Ohtani’s two-run blast helped the Angels come away with a 7-2 win over the Rangers and improve to 5-4 on the season.
