Miami, FL—The Miami Marlins took the field Wednesday looking to complete their sweep against the Los Angeles Angels and to return to the .500 mark. Unfortunately for the Fish, they had to deal with last season’s American League MVP, Shohei Ohtani, and he was magnificent.
The Japanese Babe Ruth was dominant on the mound and had a couple of productive at-bats. The Marlins had no answers for what Ohtani was doing and missed their chance to pounce when he was most vulnerable.
Immediately in the bottom of the first inning, left fielder Jon Berti—playing for the first time since Sunday—reached on a Luis Rengifo error.
