Los Angeles AngelsofShohei OhtaniWill be held on the 4th (5th Japan time) at the enemy land Fenway ParkBoston red soxParticipate in the starting lineup with “3rd DH” in the battle.
Otani hit the first hit in four games in the same game the day before, and also hit one in four at bats, including his first match with Hirokazu Sawamura. In the White Sox game on the 1st (2nd of the same day), Otani complained of tension in the right hip joint and was replaced on the way. He hit the front and relieved the fans by showing the same running as usual. The Angels have won 1 win and 3 losses so far in May. In the west area, it is still the leader with a 1.5 game behind the Astros in 2nd place.
■ Will it be a shot to enliven the team?
The starting lineupGarrett WhitlockIs a 25-year-old right-hand man who made his major debut as a relief pitcher last season. He pitched in 46 games, 8 wins and 4 losses, 81 strikeouts, and an earned run average of 1.96, and has been a starting pitcher since this season. He started in two games this season with 1 win and 1 loss, and has a good ERA of 0.54 in 6 games including his participation as a middle reliever. This is the first match once morest Otani.
Otani hit 1 at bat in 12 at bats in the last 4 games, and although the team has not scored in 3 out of 4 games in May, Otani hit for the first time in 4 games yesterday. Otani marked eight consecutive hits from the Astros match on April 10th (11th) to April 18th (19th), and if he might get on the wave once, the flow would continue yesterday. I want to regain a good flow for the team and myself in the wake of the hit. Otani is refraining from participating in the “dual wield” in the same battle tomorrow. Can his own bat rejuvenate the team? I also want to pay attention to whether the No. 5 arch will pop out for the first time in 5 games.
