Ohtani homers again as Angels top Indians in 13
Print Edition
Japanese dynamo Shohei Ohtani homered in his second straight game on Wednesday, delivering a two-run shot in the fifth inning as the Anaheim Angels beat the Cleveland Indians 3-2 in 13 innings.
The Angeles two-way star belted a shot off American League Cy Young winner Corey Kluber to go along with his three-run homer in his first at-bat at home for Anaheim on Tuesday night. “Shohei got hold of it,” said manager Mike Scioscia of the 23-year-old right hander who is batting .429. “That’s a big hit in the game. You can see the bat speed and you can see the power. As he goes on, there is a lot more he has to absorb. He has a tremendous upside and has swung the ball very well the last two nights.” Ohtani, who is scheduled to pitch for the Angels on Sunday, has six hits in 14 at-bats in three games as the club’s designated hitter. Ohtani is the first player since Babe Ruth for the Boston Red Sox in 1919 to start on opening day in a non-pitching role, then also start on the mound in his first 10 games.
