The Angels, who couldn’t win even if Shohei Ohtani hit a grand home run or caught a triple in the match, won the game in which Ohtani was silent.

The Los Angeles Angels won a 7-6 come-from-behind victory in the first game of the double header against the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2023 Major League Baseball held at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California on the 20th (Korean time). Ohtani, who came out as designated hitter No. 2, was silent with no hits, but was able to turn around as the center line was active. Ohtani’s season performance was a batting average of 0.305.토토사이트

Starter Chase Silces gave up 5 runs in 3⅔innings and overturned the collapsed game. Ohtani led the batting line, but in this game, Ohtani’s sluggishness was filled by other players instead.

Third hitter Brandon Drury went 4 at-bats with 3 hits and 1 RBI. 4th hitter Mike Moustakas went 1-for-4 with 2 runs scored, and 5th hitter Matt Theis went 2-for-4 with 1 RBI. 6th hitter Mickey Moniak went 3 at-bats with 1 hit and 1 RBI, and 7th hitter Randall Grichick played an active role with 1 hit and 2 RBIs in 3 at-bats.

Silses allowed a score from the first inning. I started by blocking Yandy Dias with a ground ball from the second baseman, but with three consecutive four balls, I was driven to full base. It seemed to put out an urgent fire by turning Isaac Paredes into a strikeout with a swing, but in the end, Josh Roe hit two RBIs in a timely manner and conceded a run.

The Angels balanced it out with a run in the second inning. Mustaches, Tais, and Moniak started the chase with three consecutive hits. Grichick’s tying sacrifice fly followed. In the third inning, the opposing catcher’s fastball turned the game around 3-2. Tyce’s timely hit and opponent’s wild throw, and Grichick’s timely double hit added 3 points, widening the score to 6-2.

As Silces contributed 3 more runs in the 4th inning, the Angels were chased by 6-5, 1 point. At this time, Drury’s cool home run shot exploded. Drury came out as the leadoff batter in the 5th inning and had a close battle with Tyler Glasnow that went all the way to the ninth pitch. On the ninth pitch, a fast ball at 97.7 miles per hour (about 157.2 km) was driven in the middle, and it flew out of the fence without missing it. It was Drury’s 16th home run of the season.

Ohtani struck out on a swing by Glasnow in the first at-bat in the first inning. In a full-count 7-ball match, he swung and missed the slider. In the 3rd inning, he only had a fly ball to left field from first base without an out. He hit the slider driven in the middle well. The exit speed was 105.9 miles per hour (about 170.4 km), but the launch angle was too high at 40 degrees. He became a flying ball with a distance of 112m. In the 4th inning, the well-hit ball went straight to the left fielder and was out.

In the 7th inning, he came out as the lead batter and chose to walk, but he lowered his head with a runner. It was after Drury’s hit made it to 1st and 2nd base safely. Ohtani first moved to second base when Moustaker’s center fielder threw a ball. He returned late, but Tampa Bay responded quickly. Ohtani was caught on second base.

The Angels completed a come-from-behind victory with good pitching from Griffin Canning (3⅓ innings, 1 run), Matt Moore (1 inning), and Reinaldo Lopez (1 inning). The second game of the doubleheader between the two teams on the 20th will be held at 10:07 am.
