The latest craze of baseball, Ohtani will make his second start of the season on the mound, facing Oakland at Angel Stadium.
Add in a 13-inning game Wednesday and the Angels really could use an extended effort from Ohtani, whose idea of "going long" lately has been homering in three consecutive games.
Before this one began, the Angels probably didn't think they'd be getting more outs from Akeel Morris than from JC Ramirez.
But that's what happened when Ramirez, struggling with his control and with his velocity down, walked five and gave up three runs in only two innings.
