Angels' Shohei Ohtani strikes out 11, gets two hits in win over Red Sox
In the fourth, Ohtani hit a 389-foot single that was about a foot shy of being a home run. In the eighth, he singled off the left-field wall to drive in one run, then scored as the Angels turned a 2-0 game into a blowout.
Ohtani also induced 29 swings and misses from Boston batters -- a career high, and the most for any pitcher this year. He threw 81 of his 99 pitches for strikes, also a career best. "It's one of my favorite ballparks," said Ohtani, who has batted .302 with two homers in 10 games at Fenway."I was looking forward to pitching here."
Ohtani's start was pushed back two days because of groin tightness and came about 14 hours after the Angels scored six times in the 10th inning to beat the Red Sox 10-5. As the designated hitter in that contest, Ohtani walked in the ninth and walked and scored in the 10th. "To be honest, I was pretty fatigued," he said."My body was pretty tired. I tried to get to sleep as early as possible and get enough sleep and rest. I think I was able to do that."to reach base on a strikeout in the first.
