Shohei Ohtani pitches gem, contributes to both runs in Los Angeles Angels' 2-1 win over Mariners

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Shohei Ohtani pitched seven scoreless innings, drove in one run and scored another as the Los Angeles Angels beat Seattle 2-1 Saturday night, dropping the Mariners in the wild-card standings.

The Angels' second straight victory against the Mariners came on the back of their two-way MVP candidate as Ohtani reached base twice in three at-bats, drove in his 89th run and lowered his ERA to 2.43 in 148 total innings.

One day after the teams combined to hit seven home runs, Ohtani and Mariners starter George Kirby did not allow a long ball.
