4月27日，道奇首次作客多倫多，但大谷翔平卻迎來主場球迷的狂噓。此前，藍鳥隊在自由市場中展現積極的搶人姿態，許多加拿大粉絲認為大谷最終會與藍鳥簽約。甚至有傳言稱他已經搭上飛機，準備參加簽約記者會。然而，出乎意料的是，大谷在Instagram上宣布加盟道奇。這讓一些媒體和粉絲感到心有不甘，認為大谷利用他們來提高自己的身價，對此感到相當不滿。

儘管在第一局受到狂噓，但大谷在首次打席就擊出他的第178支全壘打，追平道奇總教練羅伯斯（Dave Roberts）創下的日本出生選手7支全壘打隊史紀錄。最終，道奇火力全開，以12比2大勝藍鳥隊。

On April 27th, the Dodgers made their first visit to Toronto this season, but Shohei Ohtani was met with boos from the home crowd. Previously, the Blue Jays had shown an aggressive stance in the free-agent market, leading many Canadian fans to believe that Ohtani would ultimately sign with the Blue Jays. There were even rumors circulating that he had boarded a plane, preparing to attend a signing press conference. However, to everyone's surprise, Ohtani announced his joining of the Dodgers on Instagram. This left some media and fans feeling resentful, believing that Ohtani had used them to increase his own value, and they were quite displeased about it.

Despite facing boos in the first inning, Ohtani hit his 178th career home run in his first at-bat, tying the record for the most home runs by a Japanese-born player in Dodgers history set by manager Dave Roberts. In the end, the Dodgers unleashed their full firepower, defeating the Blue Jays 12-2.
