Here’s five things we learned from the Angels’ 4-3 series-clinching victory over the Dodgers Sunday afternoon.
Shohei Ohtani walked out of Saturday’s game limping after he fouled a pitch from Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen off his knee, then swung and missed at Jansen’s next pitch. No limp was evident when Mike Scioscia tapped him to lead off the bottom of Sunday’s seventh inning by pinch hitting for first baseman Jefry Marte.
It was well known that Ohtani could pitch and hit, but now he can apparently also hit when coming in cold off the bench.
