Major League Baseball Angels Shohei Otani made a full appearance as a designated hitter in the Mariners match on the 5th and hit one hit, but suffered four strikeouts for the first time this season.
On the previous day, Otani, who was active with three hits including two home runs, started on the 5th as the second designated hitter in the match against the Mariners held in Seattle, the home of the opponent.
The opponent's starting pitcher is Ray, a left-handed pitcher who was selected for the Cy Young Award in the American League last year. And in the 3rd at bat of the 6th inning, he fell down with a swinging strikeout on the out course changing ball.
Ohtani was completely suppressed by Ray, and he was unable to hit the bat without a single foul in any of his at-bats.
In the 4th at-bat of the 8th inning, he faced a second relief pitcher and hit a low breaking ball to get an infield hit to the third.
The game then went into overtime when a relief pitcher was hit and caught up at the last minute in the 9th inning, when the Angels had a 3-point lead.
Immediately after winning one point in the 10th extra inning, Ohtani stood in the fifth at-bat without two outrunners, but he also fell into an empty strikeout and suffered four strikeouts in one game for the first time this season.
Ohtani had 1 hit in 5 at bats, and his batting average was 20%, 5 minutes, 7 minutes.
In the game, the Angels won 4-3 after extra time to end their losing streak at 2.
