DETROIT -- Shohei Ohtani looked his manager in the eye and in just a few words, left no doubt of his intentions.
"I'll finish it," Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin recalled Ohtani telling him after the eighth inning of what became the two-way superstar's first complete game in Major League Baseball. "He wanted it. I could see it, too."
Ohtani polished off his one-hit shutout of the Detroit Tigers, then continued his extraordinary day in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader, hitting two homers to increase his major-league-leading total to 38 before leaving the game with cramps.
