Will Shohei Ohtani hit a home run for the Dodgers between Aug 7 and Aug 9?

Shohei Ohtani did not hit a home run for the Los Angeles Dodgers during their three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks from August 7-9, 2026, going hitless in home runs across the span despite reaching base several times, according to Associated Press recaps. In the series opener on August 7, Arizona rallied for a 4-3 win after Ryan Waldschmidt's two-run homer off closer Edwin Diaz in the ninth; Ohtani grounded into a bases-loaded, inning-ending double play in the seventh that could have tied the game. On August 8, the Dodgers won 2-1 in 10 innings, snapping a seven-game losing streak, with Ohtani driving in the winning run on an infield single rather than a home run; Kyle Tucker supplied the Dodgers' only homer of that game. In the series finale on August 9, Arizona right-hander Eduardo Rodriguez struck out nine over seven innings and retired Ohtani on a groundout, while Ketel Marte's two-run homer powered a 4-2 Diamondbacks victory. Across the three games, Ohtani's production came via singles and a walk rather than power, and no home run was recorded for him in the window, resulting in a NO resolution. That outcome contradicted the 71 percent of Predict Six community members who had forecast a home run.
