In a year in which he's redefining what a baseball player is able to do, Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani did something on Wednesday night that even he had not yet accomplished.
Facing the Tigers in Detroit, Ohtani blasted his 40th home run of the season and fired eight one-run innings to pick up the win, making it the first time he's ever homered and been the winning pitcher in the same game.
The Angels defeated Detroit, 3-1. Ohtani pitched eight innings on the mound—the longest start of his career—on just 90 pitches. He allowed one run on six hits with no walks and eight strikeouts.
