Otani started as the third designated hitter in an away game against the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2023 Major League Baseball MLB held at Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia on the 31st.
Ohtani's bat, which struck out in the top of the first inning and returned to a double play at first base with one out in the top of the third inning, turned sharply in the top of the fifth inning. With two outs and runners on first and second base, he hit a 93.6-mile sinker toward the body of the third ball of the opponent's left-hander Christopher Sanchez and hit a timely RBI right-handed hit.
It was Otani's third consecutive hit, 150 hits in the season, and 95 RBIs in the season. Ohtani has reached the 150-hit mark for the second consecutive year. However, when the follow-up hitter Brandon Drury hit a timely RBI single, he rushed to third base and was out, leaving a regret.
Otani let go of that in the top of the eighth inning. In the absence of a runner with one out, he succeeded in multi-base running by getting a walk from Philadelphia left-handed bullpen resource Gregory Soto. He then settled on third base with Drury's walk and Randall Grichick's heavy hit, and scored on Hunter Renfro's two-run right-center timely hit.
Otani then struck out in the top of the ninth inning and finished the game. His final score was one hit, one RBI, one walk, and one run in four at-bats. The season's batting average remained at 0.307.
Meanwhile, thanks to Otani's performance, the Angels defeated Philadelphia 10-8. The Angels, who broke the three-game losing streak as a result of the day, recorded 64 wins and 70 losses. Philadelphia, whose five consecutive wins have been suspended, has 74 wins and 59 losses.
Angels starter Reed Detmers allowed four hits, five walks, three strikeouts and two runs in four innings. Dominic Leon one run in one inning, Aaron Roof two runs in 0.2 innings, Reynaldo Lopes one run in 1.1 innings, Matt Moore two runs in one inning, Carlos Esteves one scoreless inning kept the mound, and Ohtani, Drury two hits, one home run, three RBIs in four at-bats, Renpro four hits, one home runs, and one RBI led by one RBI.
Philadelphia's pitching staff, including starter Sanchez 7 hits, 1 home run, 5 strikeouts, 5 runs, and 3 earned runs in 4.2 innings, were in pain. Trey Turner 2 hits, 1 home run, 3 RBIs in 4 at-bats, Bryce Harper 1 hit, 1 home run, 2 RBIs in 4 at-bats, and Nick Castellanos 3 hits and 1 RBI in 5 at-bats showed off their high sensitivity, but they were not strong enough to lead the team to 6 consecutive wins. 스포츠토토사이트
