While the Los Angeles Dodgers' Japanese trio of Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki were the center of attraction in the Tokyo Series, reigning NLCS MVP Tommy Edman grabbed the spotlight with his home run on Wednesday.

The Dodgers headed into Game 2 of the series against the Chicago Cubs after a 4-1 win in the series opener on Tuesday. However, the game did not witness a home run.

But Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman saw to it in the second game at Tokyo Dome, smoking a solo home run off Cubs starter Justin Steele in the top of the third inning.

Edman's wife Kristen reacted to the Dodgers star hitting the first home run of the 2025 season as she reshared an MLB post in her Instagram story.

Tommy Edman has been efficient against left-handed pitchers, going 14-for-34 with four home runs last year. He added another to his tally with his homer off Steele and reflected on his slugging improvement after the game:

"Yeah. I think it's just my swing being better and being able to have a better path to the ball and being able to elevate it a little bit rather than hitting ground balls."
