LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani broke Hideki Matsui's major league record for homers by a Japanese-born player with a huge two-run shot in the third inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers snapped their three-game skid with a 10-0 victory over the New York Mets. Ohtani crushed a 423-foot line drive off Adrian Houser deep into the right-field bleachers for the two-time AL MVP's fifth homer of the year and the 176th of his six-plus seasons in the majors. Tyler Glasnow struck out 10 and held New York to seven singles over eight strong innings while Los Angeles snapped the Mets' six-game winning streak and salvaged the finale of a disappointing 3-6 homestand.
