In an opening day matchup that featured more Japanese star power than ever, Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ohtani had two hits and scored a pair of runs, while Yamamoto reigned on the mound with his splitter to help the defending World Series champions earn a 4-1 win over the Chicago Cubs in the MLB season opener at Tokyo Dome on Tuesday night.

¡°This is the best feeling,¡± Yamamoto said. ¡°The cheering of the fans gave us power.¡±
