Ohtani started the home game against Colorado on the 21st (Korea time) at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California as the designated hitter. He added three homers and two steals in an away game against Miami the previous day, recording 51-51 this season.
Ohtani’s first at-bat on the day came at the Dodgers’ offense in the bottom of the first inning. Ohtani, who came to the batter’s box as a leadoff batter, targeted Colorado lefty starter Kyle Freeland (31), at a knuckle curve of five pitches and 82.4 miles (133 kilometers) with one ball and two strikes, but was struck out by swing and miss. He failed to continue his batting performance, which he garnered six hits (three home runs) from six times at bat (three home runs) with 10 RBIs and two steals from the Miami Marlins on the previous day.
The second batter’s box was arranged when the Dodgers was losing 0-1 in the bottom of the third inning. Ohtani came to the batter’s box in the absence of a two-out runner and hit a slider at 87.3 miles (about 140 kilometers) in front of center field after a close game of full count against Freeland, a pitcher like the opposing team.
His third at-bat came when he was attacked at the bottom of the fifth inning. When facing Freeland, a pitcher with two outs and runners on the second base, Ohtani hit a four-seam fastball of six pitches and 92.1 miles, once again, to make it a two-run homer over the fence. It was his 52nd in this season.
Ohtani hit three homers on the previous day and hit two consecutive home runs on the same day. It was unbelievable.
Ohtani’s fourth at-bat on the day came at the bottom of the seventh inning when the Dodgers was leading 4-3. Taking the batter’s box with a one-out runner on the second base, Ohtani hit a changeup of five pitches and 85.8 miles (138 kilometers) in two balls and two strikes from Jaden Hill, a Colorado-changing pitcher, to make an infield hit to the first base. Ohtani, who advanced to the first base, also got a run when Teoscar Hernandez had a hit. 토토사이트 순위
