On Tuesday, June 8th, Shohei Ohtani made history by becoming the first player in Major League Baseball (MLB) history to give up four home runs in a single game. The Los Angeles Angels’ two-way star pitcher and designated hitter had been having a great season, but this game was a tough one for him.
Ohtani was facing off against the Texas Rangers, and the game started off with a bang as Ohtani gave up three consecutive home runs in the first inning. He was able to settle down and get out of the inning without any more damage, but the Rangers were able to add another home run in the third inning.
It was a disappointing outing for Ohtani, who had been pitching very well this season. He had allowed just one home run in his previous five starts, and had a 3.35 ERA entering the game. His ERA rose to 4.10 after the game, but he still has a solid 3.86 ERA on the season.
Despite the rough outing, Ohtani still has plenty of time to turn things around. He is still one of the most exciting players in baseball, and his ability to both pitch and hit makes him a unique talent. He has already shown that he can be a dominant pitcher in the MLB, and he will look to bounce back from this game and continue to be a force on the mound.
Overall, it was a tough night for Shohei Ohtani, but it is just one game in a long season. He has already proven that he can be one of the best pitchers in the league, and he will look to put this game behind him and continue to dominate on the mound.
