Behind "superhero" Shohei Ohtani, a gem from Yoshinobu Yamamoto and flashes of stardom from Roki Sasaki, the Dodgers' Japanese-born standouts put on a show against the Cubs in Tokyo.

Sasaki struggles with command and walks five in three innings, but Shohei Ohtani, Kiké Hernandez and Tommy Edman homer in a 6-3 victory over the Cubs.

With Japan natives Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shota Imanaga taking the mound and a sellout crowd packing the Tokyo Dome, the Dodgers began defense of the World Series title they won last fall by claiming a 4-1 victory in the season opener.
