Shohei Ohtani of the Major League Baseball Angels will start in the Braves game, which is the first game of the second half of the team, to achieve "double-digit win, double-digit home run" for the first time in 104 years since Babe Ruth.


The match was scheduled to start after 8:20 am Japan time, but due to the rain around the stadium, seats were laid in the infield and the start of the match was delayed.

Otani was practicing pitching with a bullpen in preparation for the game, but he has been suspended due to this.

[Highlight]

On the 13th, which was the last pitching of the first half of the game, Otani reduced his 6th inning to 1 goal and extended his winning streak to 6.

He is currently winning six straight games, throwing about 40 innings in these six games and scoring only three goals.

In addition, the last four games have been double-digit strikeouts in a row, which is the longest record for a Japanese player in 1995, following Hideo Nomo.



In the All-Star game held on the 19th, I focused only on the batter and did not participate in the home run competition the day before, and I have saved my physical strength for the starting pitching in the Braves game, which is the first game of the second half of the team. ..



Otani won nine wins as a pitcher in the first half of the game and hit 19 home runs as a batter. We are approaching one more win to achieve it.



NHK will broadcast the game.
