In Photos: Shohei Ohtani receives special portrait from acclaimed celebrity artist Romero Britto at Dodger Stadium

LA Dodgers' two-way star Shohei Ohtani received a special portrait of himself named 'Shotime' from famous Brazilian artist and painter Romero Britto. The 60-year-old artist was at Dodger Stadium cheering on Ohtani and the Dodgers in their game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday.

Britto posted snaps from the game where he can be seen seated with Yota and other companions in Dodgers jerseys. He even captured Ohtani's 35th home run of the season in the third inning against Mitch Keller.

Ahead of the game, Britto had some gifts for Ohtani and his dog, Dekopin. Britto gifted his special custom caps, books, a few complimentary items and also a jacket for Dekopin. He also shared the golden ticket to his Britto Palace, which is situated in Miami, Florida.

Shohei Ohtani crushed a two-run homer in the third inning to spark fire in the Dodgers offense, which scored five runs in the inning against Mitch Keller. That inning ultimately turned to be pivotal, as Dodgers won the game 9-5.

Freddie Freeman and Kike Hernandez also homered in the win, while Jack Flaherty allowed 10 hits and one walk but only surrendered four runs in his 5.2 innings. The Dodgers bullpen did the rest to back the offense.

Shohei Ohtani now leads the National League with his 35th homer on Friday, taking over Marcell Ozuna's 34 home runs. He is primed to win his first MVP award in the NL after winning two in the AL with the LA Angels.

Moreover, with Mookie Betts returning on Monday in the lineup, the Dodgers will have their All-Star trio (Ohtani, Freeman and Betts) back together since mid-June. Betts will hit behind Ohtani at second and will play right field.
