Dodgers’ Game 3 Hero Turns Heads With ‘Dragon Ball’ Celebration With Shohei Ohtani

After getting clobbered in a 7-3 loss in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series at home, the Los Angeles Dodgers immediately returned the favor to the New York Mets. Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers wrecked the Mets 8-0 in Game 3 on Wednesday at Citi Field, with Ohtani hitting another monster home run.

Ohtani added to the Mets’ misery with a powerful swing in the eighth inning, taking Tylor Megill’s 89-mph cutter deep for a 397-foot, three-run blast that gave Los Angeles a seven-run lead.

But there was another big home run from the Dodgers before that Ohtani dinger.

In the sixth inning, Enrique Hernandez launched a two-run homer that extended the Dodgers’ lead to 4-0. Once the 33-year-old veteran crossed home plate, he broke out a “Dragon Ball” celebration with Shohei Ohtani, who was getting ready for his at-bat.

That celebration certainly got fans buzzing.

“Kiké’s Kamehameha celly with Ohtani was epic!”

“Kiké is a legend for breaking out the Kamehameha celebration #NLCS”

“Signature celebration 🎊”

“That’s really beautiful moment”

“That’s awesome! Kiké and Shohei bringing the Kamehameha energy to the field—definitely a fun moment! Gotta love the crossover between baseball and anime vibes.”

The Dodgers now lead the series 2-1 and have outscored the Mets 20-7 in the NLCS.

With how things are going, the Mets might need to collect all seven Dragon Balls to pull off a series upset. The Dodgers will look to extend their series lead Thursday night with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound in Game 4. First pitch is scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET on FS1.
