Ohtani rides rare netting rule to Little League–style inside-the-park homer

Shohei Ohtani hit a line drive that struck protective netting along the right-field line and stayed in play because of MLB's universal ground-rule, turning what looked like a routine hit into a Little League–style inside-the-park homer after an Angels error on the relay; the eighth-inning sequence helped the Dodgers rout the Angels 15-2 at Angel Stadium, with the new line-netting causing discussion and a replay confirming the call.
