EARLY SHOTIME! Shohei Ohtani hits a 1st-inning homer for the Los Angeles Angels!

Shohei Ohtani has allowed opponents to bat just 145. He's the only pitcher that's been better than Wells in that department. Wells at 152 entering today. And Ohtani off the end of his bat lifts one to a deep right field. This one could be deep enough and it is a home run! Santander stretched out for it at the top of the wall and Shohei Ohtani got just enough. It's his 10th home run this year and the Angels strike for an early 1-0 lead. And that was against a changeup of pitches. Shohei Ohtani has struggled mightily against this year but it was a changeup upstairs. Shohei another home run by Wells allowed. Not many hits but when they're hit it's generally going to leave the building and Shohei hits a changeup out. Kabuto working for Shohei. Halo's early lead here with the home run now. 10th home run for Shohei Ohtani. He loves wearing that Kabuto. Not quite where we were standing in Game 1. After Game 1 home run by Shohei. But you know what? It counts exactly the same. He might wear it until his next at bat. 10 homers that ties him with Renfroe for the team lead. Here's Renfroe batting now. 30th RBI. That's the most on the Angels. As Renfroe waves and misses. Didn't look like he hit that one very square. Shohei kind of got it off toward the end of the bat a bit. But he's so strong he was still able to loft it out toward right center field. That's the point. You just said he's so strong even when he's just slightly off balance he keeps his hands back through the zone extremely well. And to hit a changeup out like that even when you're off balance and still be able to drive it's pretty amazing. Not a changeup out in front. Didn't square it up all the way but he got enough. And Ohtani gives the Angels a 1-0 lead in Baltimore in the finale of the series.
