Dodgers confident Shohei Ohtani will break out of his slump against Brewers

Shohei Ohtani blistered a ball into the second deck in right-center field. Then he launched another, this time a little closer to the imposing video board looming over American Family Field that bore the massive “2026 NLCS” logo. "Good day of work for him,” hitting coach Aaron Bates said after the Dodgers' workout Saturday. “Him and Mookie [Betts] had been talking hitting the last few days. His idea to hit on the field. New field, new backdrop, that sort of thing.” Ohtani has hit in batting practice on a field only a handful of times this season.
