Following Rendon's hit in front of the light, Otani returned home at once and caught up with the tie without two outrunners.
The second at bat in the third inning was still a chance for a no-out second base, but he struck out a changing ball, and in the third at bat in the fifth inning, he struck out a fastball higher in the course.
In the 4th at bat of the 7th inning, he overlooked the changing ball from the full count and struck out 3 at bats in a row.
The Angels lost 2-4, the first four consecutive losses of the season.
Introducing Otani in a mustache to a cowboy hat
Also in this match, Otani was introduced on a large screen in the stadium with a unique appearance wearing a cowboy hat and a mustache.
The Angels are holding an event called "Country Weekend" in three consecutive battles with Athletics from the 20th, and the cowboy hat and mustache are processed on the photograph of the player introduction on the large screen.
The mustaches are not processed by the players who usually have mustaches, but the fans of the stadium enjoyed taking pictures with a smile on Otani's unfamiliar mustaches.
Also, in the United States, the last Monday of May is "Memorial Day" in memory of the war dead, so players are wearing camouflage hats and stockings during this weekend's game.
This effort is being carried out by all 30 teams, the 29 teams based in the United States have the American flag design on the logo of the team on the hat, and the Blue Jays based in Canada have the maple leaf used for the flag. It is designed.
