Michael Lorenzen became the first player since Babe Ruth in 1921 to homer, play center field and earn the win in the same game. Bobby Nightengale, Cincinnati Enquirer
When Michael Lorenzen was on the injured list to begin the 2018 season, he made sure to keep his schedule open for Shohei Ohtani’s home pitching debut.
Lorenzen remembers watching with excitement. Ohtani gave up one hit in seven innings while striking out 12. It was complete domination by the league’s newest star. And Lorenzen knew what it could mean for his own career.
