He went 0/3 in the fifth inning, giving up 3 hits, 7 strikeouts, 3 hits and 2 runs for his 14th win (8 losses) as a pitcher. He reached 200 strikeouts in a season in the fourth inning, making him the fourth Japanese pitcher to strike out.

Ohtani’s 34 shots are by far the best, while Don Drysdale (1965) and Earl Wilson (1966) have 7 shots tied for second place. Carlos Zambrano in 2006 and Ferguson Jenkins in 1971 tied for 4th with six, and wrote, “There is only one Shohei Ohtani.”
And Erica Weston, a reporter for the Angels’ local station, Ballysports West, spelled “MVP!!” The Canadian media “The Score” praised “Shohei Ohtani is another great season”, and Adam Rosen, a reporter for the American sports media “The Daily Illinois Sports”, said, “What a year! This MVP battle. I think the judges will win MVP, but Ohtani was the only one who might challenge. Ohtani should be in the top 5 in the race for Cy Young. It’s been an incredible year.” spelled.
