Otani Wins His First Big League Shutdown Against DET

LA Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who doubles as a pitcher, recorded a shutout.

Otani started the away game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan on the 28th (Korea Standard Time) and led the team to a 6-0 victory with one hit, three walks, eight strikeouts and no runs in nine innings.

It was Otani's first complete pitch and shutout since his Major League debut. He completed it after throwing 111 pitches, the highest number of pitches this season.

He also recorded his ninth win (5 losses) of the season with the victory, lowering his ERA to 3.43.

If Kerry Carpenter, the first batter in the fifth inning, didn't give up a hit, it would have been a no-hitter game. It was that overwhelming. Mostly relied on two pitches: a four-seam fastball (56%) with an average speed of 97 miles and a sweeper (23%) with 84.5 miles, but it worked well enough.

Four strong pitches with a batting speed of more than 95 miles were allowed, and Spencer Tokelson's ball in the first inning flew to the left fence, but left fielder Ward caught it in front of the fence. 토토사이트

At-bat, he was quiet with no hits and two strikeouts in five at-bats, but his teammates worked instead. Taylor Ward had two hits (two home runs) in four at-bats, one run and three RBIs, Mike Moustakas had two hits and two runs in four at-bats, Hunter Renfroe had three hits and one run in four at-bats, and Trey Cavage had one hit and three RBIs.

Otani, who was rumored to be trading, was confirmed to remain in the Angels the previous day, declaring that the Angels would recruit Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez and two immediate power pitchers from the Chicago White Sox as "buyers."

On the same day, "Sports Illustrated" also reported that the Angels are withdrawing Otani from the trade market.

Otani's appearance on the day took place amid such news. And he announced his presence with a shutout.
