Shohei Otani gets RBI in 2 consecutive games with first timely hit in second opening game. Otani underwent surgery last year.

He took a large lead and pretended to aim for the next base. When faced with a check, he quickly extended his right arm and returned to base. He had one hit, one RBI, and two walks, making it his second consecutive game to score an RBI following his two-run homer in the previous game. He chose the second walk of the game and was sent as a substitute to be substituted.
