Angels Shohei Otani (29) participated in the Astros match at home on the 15th (Japan time 16th) as “No. 2 DH”.
Released No. 33 solo for the first time in 2 games, 1 hit in 5 at bats, 1 home run and 1 RBI. 302 batting average. In the game, the Angels won 13-12 in the 10th inning, ending their losing streak at 6 and returning their debt to 1.
Otani set the team on fire in the 9th inning when they were trailing 9-12. He hit an oversized No. 33 solo home run that traveled 404 feet (about 123.1 meters) on the 89.2-mile (about 143.5 kilometer) slider thrown by Astros guardian Presley.
Ohtani’s first home run in the second half of the game will give the team a 2-run lead, and the team will gain momentum.
The bases were loaded with three consecutive hits from Ward, Moniak, and Escobar, and the opponent was caught, making it a one-point difference. In addition, Renflow hit a cash-for-money tie just in time to tie the score at 12-12 in the 9th inning.
In the 10th inning, Otani was given a chance to say goodbye to 1st and 2nd base, but he avoided reporting. A sigh leaked out from the hall.
Ward followed with a ground ball to second base. Just when I thought it was a double play, shortstop Kesinger threw to first base. The Angels are home-in of goodbye to the 2-run Cabbage. The Angels grabbed their first victory in 13 days in dramatic fashion.
After the game, Ward, who hits Ohtani, exclaimed, “I saw smoke behind the ball. (Laughs) I can’t believe it. He’s amazing.”
Manager Phil Nevin said, “If anyone says this team isn’t playing hard, I’ll take it back. I’m feeling good right now. If you look at the league’s batting record, we’re homers, OPS, points. We are in the top 5 with such things as this. This is the reason why we can immediately return to where we were two weeks ago,” he said with an unrelenting tenacity toward advancing to the postseason.
