Shohei Ohtani set the tone early in Game 1 for the Dodgers.

The two-way superstar put Los Angeles on the board quickly against the Reds in the first game of their best-of-three wild-card series with a solo homer.

Then, the Dodgers really started to tee off on Cincinnati ace Hunter Greene.

After the Reds went down in order in the top half of the first, Ohtani stepped in against the hard-throwing Greene and got the count in his favor, 2-1.

The slugger turned on an inside fastball that came in at 100. 4 mph and sent it 375 feet to right — at an eye-popping 117.7 mph.
