On Tuesday night, the Houston Astros defeated the Los Angeles Angels 7-5 in a close game. The Angels’ starting pitcher, Shohei Ohtani, had a tough outing, giving up four earned runs in five innings of work. Despite the Angels’ best efforts, they were unable to overcome the deficit and ultimately lost the game.
Ohtani had a difficult time against the Astros’ lineup, giving up four earned runs on six hits. He also allowed two walks and struck out six batters. The Angels’ offense was able to put up five runs, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit. The Astros’ offense was led by George Springer, who had three hits and two RBIs.
This was Ohtani’s second start of the season and he has now given up eight earned runs in nine innings of work. While it wasn’t the performance he was hoping for, it’s important to remember that it’s still early in the season and he has plenty of time to improve.
The Angels are hoping that Ohtani can be a key part of their rotation this season. He is one of the most talented pitchers in the league and has the potential to be an ace. Despite his struggles in this game, the Angels remain confident in his ability and will continue to give him opportunities to prove himself.
The Astros were able to take advantage of Ohtani’s struggles and come away with the win. They will look to keep their momentum going as they face off against the Angels again tomorrow night.
