HOUSTON -- The Astros are about to get their first look at two-way Japanese star Shohei Ohtani, who's scheduled to make his fourth start of the season on Tuesday at Minute Maid Park. Ohtani is 2-1 with a 3.60 ERA in three starts, having lasted only two innings last Tuesday against Boston after developing a blister and giving up three runs on four hits.
Ohtani isn't in the lineup at designated hitter the day before or after he pitches, so Tuesday will be the only time the Astros see him on the field during the Angels' visit.
