Shohei Ohtani had quite a game at Fenway Park last night. He went 2-for-4, scored a run and knocked in a run. More importantly, he pitched seven shutout innings and struck out 11, with a career-high 29 swings and misses (also the most of any pitcher in a game this year). The Angels won easily 8-0.
Ohtani was the first starting pitcher to bat in one of the top four lineup spots at Fenway since Babe Ruth batted fourth against the White Sox on September 20, 1919. Ruth pitched 5.1 innings and finished the game in left field.
