Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani was in the starting lineup with the “No. 2 designated hitter” in the open game against the Dodgers at enemy Dodger Stadium on the 30th (31st Japan time). He made a hit in the first at bat for the first time.

Otani had retired midway through the third inning with 4 hits, 5 walks and 7 runs, including 3 home runs, in part due to the bean’s influence on his right middle finger in the Dodgers game the day before. For the first time this season, when he was playing batter the day after pitching, he suddenly heard a pleasant sound from Dodgers starter Dustin May. After repelling the 98.6-mile plumb bob, the hit ball went through both games with one change.

Otani was concerned about the effects of the beans, but Joe Maddon said, “I spoke to (coach) Adam, but he wasn’t worried about the beans at all. He (Otani) would be fine. Like I said,” I didn’t think, “There’s no effect on the hitting surface. Suddenly he hit the first at bat. The second at bat in the third inning fell to a ground ball.

In this season’s open game, Otani has participated in 12 games as a hitter, including real double wielding, with a .552 batting average and 5 home runs and 8 RBIs with 16 hits in 29 at-bats. It will be the opening game with hits in all the open games he played as a fielder in the hit of the day, which was the last open game before the start.
