Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani (28) started as the “No. 3 DH and pitcher” and failed to hold on, giving up 3 runs on 5 hits in 4 innings with 4 walks and 2 strikeouts, the most this season. He suffered his eighth loss of the season (10 wins). As a batter, he allowed one hit and no walks.
He had been feeling something wrong with his physical condition since this morning.
In the 1st inning, he allowed a run on the first pitch to Greene, who led off the inning with a single to right-center field, and he managed to get out of the 2nd and 3rd innings with runners on base but gave up a triple to Reyes with two outs in the 4th inning. He was sent to bat in his place in the 5th inning.
Later, the team’s public relations department announced that the reason for Ohtani’s substitution was “viral gastroenteritis.
After the game, Otani looked a little tired, but he responded to the Japanese and U.S. press. He revealed that he had been feeling something wrong with his health since the morning before the day game.
I had already decided to pitch, so I was going to pitch regardless of whether I was in good physical condition or not. （I thought I would have had a better chance to win the game if I had been able to control the last two outs in my bad condition.
As for the early exit, he said, “I didn’t think I would be able to pitch until the 4th inning.” “It was right before the game, so I had no choice but to go in, and it wasn’t about the result. I think it was a game where I made adjustments as much as I could and went to the mound to suppress the game.
As for his future prospects, Nevin said, “I’ll check on him after this, and I’ll check on him tomorrow as well,” and he will make a decision depending on Ohtani’s recovery status.
