The Angels won 7-3 against the Oakland Athletics on Friday in a seven-inning game, improving to 3-2-1 this spring.
ON THE MOUND: In his 1u2154-inning spring debut, Shohei Ohtani struck out five batters and gave up one run, three hits (all doubles) and two walks. Of his 41 pitches, 24 were strikes and five produced a swing-and-miss.
Ohtani’s fastball topped out at 100 mph, according to the Fox Sports West broadcast, and he used his trademark splitter to effect as a putaway pitch. He said his slider wasn’t as sharp, twice leading hits early in counts.
