Tom Hanks' scorecard moment after Shohei Ohtani HR brings more joy to Dodgers' win

The Dodgers' power was on full display during their Home Opener against the Tigers, with Tommy Edman (who seems to have become a power hitter overnight) jumping on reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal in the bottom of the second inning to give LA an early lead.

The Tigers went up 2-1 after a wild pitch from Blake Snell allowed a run to score and former Dodger Manuel Margot drove in another with a sacrifice fly. But then Detroit made the questionable decision to have Skubal pitch around Mookie Betts in the bottom of the fifth, only to give up a three-run homer to Teoscar Hernández on the first pitch he saw.

LA's Big Three — Shohei Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman — had been quiet through six innings, though. Ohtani and Betts each picked up a hit each, but the Dodgers' depth looked like it was going to be the story of the night.

And then Ohtani stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh, facing reliever Brenan Hanifee. Ohtani got himself to a 3-2 count after falling behind, then he saw a sinker that didn't sink and hammered it into deep left field for his second homer of the season in three games.

Shohei Ohtani's 2nd HR for Dodgers came in front of a sold-out Home Opener crowd — including Tom Hanks

An Ohtani homer is the thing that every Dodgers fan goes to the ballpark hoping to see and, small sample size aside, he's already making it look like it will be a regularity to see that in person.

ESPN's broadcast camera cut to the stands, where Tom Hanks and his son Chet were in a box, going wild with the rest of the crowd. Hanks had been spotted earlier in the game keeping score himself, and he cradled his scorebook as he shook hands and doled out high-fives. Magic Johnson and Rob Lowe were also behind home plate, and Lowe had even gotten himself one of the Dodgers' brand-new gold logo hats to celebrate their World Series win.

The Tigers threatened the Dodgers' lead a few times, with a Spencer Torkelson hit a homer and Kerry Carpenter sac fly put them within a run both times, but they'd had issues with runners in scoring position all night. They went 0-for-15 with RISP and couldn't come through with Gleyber Torres on second in the top of the ninth. Blake Treinen finished it off to get his first save of the year.

Not a bad show to put on in front of Tom Hanks. The Tigers gave him a workout on the scorebook, too.
