LA Angels’ Shohei Ohtani (26) had a three-hit game, but it wasn’t enough to prevent his team from losing. A home run is a home run, but a walk is a walk.
Ohtani went 1-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts in the No. 2 spot in the lineup against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on Tuesday. He raised his batting average to .302.
Ohtani is still hot at the plate, having completed a three-game homerun streak on the 28th and 29th. On this day, he kept it going by recording a hit.온라인카지노
Ohtani led off the first inning with a walk. With the bases loaded, he was hit by an 82.2 mph slider from Alec Manoa and took first base. However, he was unable to reach base as the next two batters struck out.
In his second at-bat, he drew a walk. Leading off the third inning, Ohtani took advantage of Manoa’s three-pitch 94.1-mph sinker. The ball sailed into right-center field, and Ohtani advanced to second base. Again, he failed to score.
Ohtani would get his next chance at a hit. In the top of the fifth inning, with runners on first and second and the score tied at 0-0, the Toronto bench spared him. Autogo called for four pitches, and Ohtani went to first base.
Toronto continued to not challenge Ohtani. Ohtani came to bat for the fourth time in the top of the sixth inning, with runners on second and third and his team trailing 1-2. Once again, Ohtani walked on an automatic double play. Again, he walked without getting a single at-bat in a scoring opportunity. It was his 10th intentional walk of the season. He is second in the league behind Jose Ramirez (Cleveland), who has 12.
In his final at-bat in the ninth, he struck out. With the bases loaded, Ohtani had already walked Garcia to load the bases.
The Angels fell to Toronto 1-6 on the day. Threatened with a series sweep, the Angels are now 54-51 on the season. Toronto, meanwhile, improved to 59-46 on the season with its third straight win.
