ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani got his first major league home run and his first celebratory ice bath. There could more on the way for the Japanese sensation.
Ohtani hit a three-run homer in his first Angel Stadium at-bat to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Cleveland Indians 13-2 on Tuesday night.
"Shohei put on a display of the type of talent he has tonight," manager Mike Scioscia said. "He showed the power. He showed the ability to just square up a baseball, and he had a great night for us."
Ohtani capped a six-run first inning by lifting a ball out to center on a 2-2 pitch from Josh Tomlin.
