Otani played as the second batter and starting pitcher in the 2023 Major League Baseball (MLB) against the Chicago White Sox at Anaheim Angel Stadium in California on the 28th (Korea Standard Time), contributing to his team's 4-2 victory.
On this day, Ohtani won his seventh win (3 losses) of the season with four hits, two walks, 10 strikeouts and one run in 6⅓ innings as a pitcher. Otani, who has achieved a quality start (more than six innings and less than three earned runs) for three consecutive games, also lowered his ERA from 3.13 to 3.02.
Otani also played at-bat with three hits (two home runs), one walk, and two RBIs in three at-bats, including two home runs. His season batting average exceeded 30% (0.304), and he also took the lead in home runs alone.
With Otani's pitching and hitting performance, the Angels also maintained their second place in the American League West with two consecutive wins.
According to MLB.com , it was the first time Otani hit two home runs in the game he started. Otani completed a multi-home run with a solo home run in the first inning and a one-run home run in the seventh inning.
Otani was also named the sixth player since 1900 to hit two home runs and strike out at least 10 batters in a game.
Prior to Otani, Milt Papas (1961), Pedro Ramos (1963), Rick Weiss (1971), Madison Bumgarner (2017) and Jack Greinke (2019) set these records. Otani, who set a new record for the first time in four years, became the first American League player to record in 60 years since Ramos in 1963. 토토사이트
On the other hand, Ohtani hit 13 home runs in June alone, adding two more home runs, which is the record for the Angels in a month. As the Angels have three games left in local time, it is possible to break the team's monthly record for the most home runs.
