Shohei Ohtani became the first starting pitcher since 1964 to reach base five times in a game in the Angels' 9-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
Ohtani had four hits and a walk, making up for his shaky pitching with a stellar performance at the plate. He hit a titanic three-run homer and finished a double shy of the cycle on a night the Orioles hit three home runs off him.
Needing a two-base hit to become the first starting pitcher to hit for the cycle, Ohtani grounded into a forceout in the seventh and singled in the ninth. Matt Thaiss added an RBI double that inning. Then in the fifth, Ohtani tripled and scored his third run of the game on Hunter Renfroe’s double.Anthony Rendon was put on the 10-day IL, retroactive to May 14, for a groin strain. How are the Angels better equipped to handle Rendon’s latest injury?
