Ohtani’s bat, who had been silent, returned in the ninth inning. With the score trailing 1-4, Ohtani, who came to the plate from 1st and 3rd base unscathed, hit a timely 1 RBI, making his first on base.
The Angels, who pursued 2-4, caught up with a 3-4, 1-run lead with Taylor Ward’s RBI in the scoring opportunity. But the chase ended there. He was defeated without a follow-up hit.
