Shohei Ohtani of the Major League Baseball Angels hit the 35th home run this season for the first time in five games against the Twins.
Otani, who hit two two-base hits in the previous game and contributed to the victory with his long hitting ability, started on the 25th in the Twins match held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the second designated hitter. ..
In the first at-bat of the first inning, he caught a changing ball with a low out course and made an infield hit to the second, which was defending a place deeper than the fixed position.
After that, I tried to steal to the second base, but I could not expand my chance because it was blocked by the opponent catcher.
In the 3rd inning, the 2nd at bat was struck out by a low in-course changing ball, but the 6th inning at bat, which was tied 2 to 2, caught the 2nd changing ball and turned to light. I hit the 35th solo home run this season, which is a win.
Otani's home run is the first in five games since the 18th of this month, and at this point he is defending the top by three behind the second-placed player in both leagues.
In the 4th at-bat, which was greeted with 2 outs and 3rd base in the 8th inning, after going to base with a walked foreball, he also decided to steal the 13th base this season to 2nd base.
Otani scored multiple hits in two consecutive games with two hits and one RBI in three at bats and one walk, and his batting average rose to 20%, 7 minutes and 7 RBIs.
In the match, the Angels won 6-2 to win two consecutive games, returning the winning percentage to 50%.
