APRIL 3, 2023

Slugs first homer of 2023 Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Athletics.

Impact The Angels' two superstars put the finishing touches on the game's scoring in the fifth inning, when Mike Trout and Ohtani took starter Ken Waldichuk yard in back-to-back plate appearances. The home run was the first of the season for Ohtani, who has four hits in 12 at-bats through the Angels' first three games. He'll likely serve as a designated hitter for the Angels' first two games of the week in Seattle before stepping back on the mound for his second start of the season in Wednesday's series finale with the Mariners.

Fans 10 in no-decision Ohtani did not factor into the decision Thursday against Oakland, completing six scoreless innings and allowing two hits and three walks while striking out 10. He went 1-for-3 with...

Impact Ohtani was a bit wild in the season opener, throwing 38 of his 93 pitches for balls and walking three batters. Aside from that, the two-way star was as dominant as ever, racking up 13 swinging strikes en route to 10 punchouts. Ohtani recorded 10 double-digit strikeout performances last season, and after leading Japan to a title in the World Baseball Classic this spring, he already looks primed to build upon the career-best pitching numbers he posted on the mound with the Angels in 2022.
