Shohei Ohtani of the Major League Baseball Angels made a full appearance against the Marlins as a designated hitter, and contributed to the victory by deciding a strong hit and the first stolen base of this season.
The American League Angels faced their opponent Marlins for the first time in five years since 2017 in their first exchange match with the National League at Angel Stadium on the 11th.
Otani started in the starting lineup with the first designated hitter, which has been established since the opening round, and sharply repelled a fastball with a high out course in front of the center in the first at bat of one time, and made a base with two consecutive hits.
Otani, who stole 26 bases last season, took advantage of his speed to steal the first base of the season to second base, and then stepped on the first home run in the subsequent batter's home run.
The 2nd at bat and the 3rd at bat in the 5th inning failed to hit the changing ball that fell low on the out course, and both fell to the third fly, and the 4th at bat in the 7th inning pulled the low changing ball. Otani had one hit in four at bats and one stolen base after being processed by the opponent's third, who was defending in the second position.
The Angels won the match 6-2.
