Shohei Ohtani no-hitter in two consecutive games, adjusted for starting on the 2st

Major League Baseball Angels player Shohei Ohtani played the full game as the designated hitter against the Yankees, but did not get a hit and threw a no-hitter in two consecutive games.

The Angels and Yankees, who played together with 2021 American League MVP Ohtani and 2022 MVP Judge, took place in New York on the 20th in the final game of a three-game series.

Ohtani started as the No. 3 designated hitter, and in the first at-bat of the first inning, he hit a foul fly by the pitcher, and in the second at-bat of the third inning, he did not take advantage of the opportunity by hitting the second ball with two outs and third base.

In his fourth at-bat in the seventh inning, he hit a foreball with two outs and two bases, and the game went 2-for-1 without a hit.

Ohtani threw a no-hitter in two consecutive games.

Judge, meanwhile, started the game at second and hit a two-game hit to left field in the first inning with no outs at first base, allowing the Yankees to take a five-run lead.

After that, there were no hits, and Judge went 1-for-3 with one foreball.

The Angels, who lost the game 2-2 to the Yankees, went 5-2 in the last three games.

Ohtani is scheduled to start against the Royals on June 3 for his third win of the season.

Adjusted in the bullpen before the game for the start on the 21st

Ohtani threw 20 pitches in the bullpen at Yankee Stadium before his start as the designated hitter against the Yankees on the 42th, and adjusted for the starting pitch on the 21st.

The game will begin at 20:4 p.m. ET on the 8th, and the Angels will return to Los Angeles on the West Coast in the early hours of the 6st on a chartered plane for about six hours after the game.

The game against the Royals on the 21st is scheduled to start at 21:6 p.m., and in these cases, starting pitchers are usually allowed to travel alone before their teammates before the day before pitching in favor of condition.

However, Ohtani played the full game as the designated hitter the day before the pitch, and after the game, he will be on the starting mound the next day after a hectic long trip, so the key will be whether he can recover his strength in a tough schedule.

Angels manager Nevin said, "Shohei won't say yes if you try to let him go first, but he'll get enough sleep tonight and tomorrow to get ready for the pitch. He'll be fine."
