ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Los Angeles Angels (35-30) celebrated Christmas early this year with a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners (30-32) Friday evening at Angel Stadium at their annual 'Christmas in June' night.
Ohtani stole the show at the plate, as he swung for his 17th home run of the season, with a monster two-run home run in the bottom of the third inning.
Ohtani's pitching seems to have declined in comparison to his last two seasons. He walked five Mariners batters on the night, with three coming in the first inning. Ohtani says there's some adjustments he needs to make for the rest of the season, and he's also working on recovery and fatigue. The 6-4, 220-pound two-way player is looking to make his third All-Star appearance at this year's All-Star Game in Seattle. Ohtani is third in the American League in home runs , seventh in RBI , fourth in hits , third in slugging percentage , and places in the top 15 for ERA amongst pitchers.
