Shohei Ohtani didn't record a single out in his highly anticipated return to the pitcher's mound on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Angels' two-way sensation walked three A's batters, gave up three singles and exited his 2020 pitching debut with a 4-0 deficit at Oakland Coliseum. Ohtani threw 30 pitches, half of them balls, and was ultimately charged with five earned runs.
It began with a leadoff single to Oakland shortstop Marcus Semien. Ohtani then issued consecutive walks to Ramon Laureano, Matt Chapman and Matt Olson.
