Although shohei Otani passed the full match today, his first 5 innings on the pitcher hill made the Astros play no way, 1 hit could not hit, and... He wrote history today, when the Angels finished the Astros 6-0, becoming the first major league pitcher since 1900 to play two places before pitching.
Otani's final figures for today's match were:
Pitcher: 6 innings, no points lost, only 1 hit and 1 drop, plus 12 strikeouts to tie a major league career high (the most triplets in a single game of his career was 16 in the Japanese professional baseball)
Hitters: 4 hits and 2 hits, including 1 second-base hit, plus 1 drop, 2 RBIs, and 1 run back for the team
Commenting on today's performance in Otani, Angels coach Joe Maddon said: "He was at his best today and it was a great performance. I think he's fed up with his poor performances against the Astros and he wants to prove himself on the pitch, whether it's on pitchers or in the batting area. ”
Prior to today's game, the Angels lost 5 of the 6 games in which the Astros were launched in Otani. Otani's record for the Astros is 0-3 with an ERA of 5.92, and 3 defeats are also his worst performance against other teams.
Otani's challenge to the full game ended today after a 1-out in 6 innings, Jason Castro knocked out the Astros' first homer of the game with 2 good and 3 bad full goals.
Castro, who took over Otani's pitch when he briefly played for the Angels in 2020, said in an interview after the game: "He looks comfortable throwing now and in good health. When I was helping him catch the ball, he had just returned from ligament replacement surgery. Now he seems to be confident in his physical health and has become the ace pitcher that everyone expects. ”
