Choi Ji-man (Pittsburgh Pirates) won the two-hit Korea-Japan match. He hit his first home run once morest Shohei Ohtani (LA Angels) of Japanese nationality, ‘Double Swordsman’.
On the 22nd (Korean time), Choi Ji-man started as the designated hitter in the major league away game held at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, USA, and recorded 1 hit in 4 at-bats (1 home run), 1 RBI and 1 run.
The only hit Choi Ji-man recorded that day was a solo shot once morest Shohei Ohtani.
Choi Ji-man fired the 5th cannon of the season in the second at-bat with one company in the top of the 4th inning.
In a 1-ball-2 strike, which was unfavorable to hitters, Choi Ji-man attacked the 5-ball cutter thrown by Shohei Ohtani and crossed the right fence. As the 87 mph cutter entered the middle rather flatly, he turned the bat without hesitation.
Choi Ji-man was silent in 4 at-bats once morest Shohei Ohtani until the game and struck out 3 times.
After Choi Ji-man’s solo shot, Pittsburgh took the lead with Henry Davis’ consecutive hitter’s solo home run.
However, the Angels countered with two home runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, scoring five runs, and then piled up additional runs to shake the Pittsburgh mound.
Pittsburgh suffered a 5-8 come-from-behind loss to the Angels. Choi Ji-man’s season batting average was 0.186.
Shohei Ohtani was somewhat sluggish with 6 hits, 1 walk, 9 strikeouts and 5 runs in 6⅓ innings, but thanks to the active support of other lines, he harvested 8 wins (5 losses) for the season. In the other line, he contributed to the team’s victory by recording no hits, 3 walks and 2 runs in 1 at-bat.
