TEMPE, Ariz. -- Shohei Ohtani snapped an 0-for-14 stretch in Cactus League play by singling off Minor League left-hander Colin Poche in the sixth inning of the Angels' 6-5 win over the D-backs on Tuesday at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
It marked Ohtani's first hit in a Major League exhibition game since March 11 against the Rangers. After his 1-for-4 showing Tuesday, the left-handed hitter is now 3-for-28 (.107) in 12 Cactus League games this spring. All three of Ohtani's hits this spring have been singles.
Ohtani grounded out to second base in his first two at-bats against D-backs left-hander Robbie Ray before flaring a 2-2 pitch from Poche to left-center field in the sixth.
