Shohei Ohtani, who plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has posted a streak of nine consecutive RBIs, setting a new record. His teammate Freddie Freeman, an MVP, praised Otani.
Ohtani scored two hits, two RBIs and two runs from four times at bat, including his 24th home run of the season, in an away game against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, Illinois on the 26th (Korea Standard Time).
Ohtani, the first designated hitter, hit the fifth curve in the first inning with opposing starter Chris Flexen and ball count 2B-2S, connecting him to a solo arch over the right-center wall. His first home run in three days since the game against the Los Angeles Angels on the 23rd. With this, Ohtani has produced RBIs in nine consecutive games, setting a tie for most consecutive games by the club.
Taking the lead in the third inning when his team was losing 1-3, Ohtani allowed a walk. Freddie Freeman’s two-run homer to left made it home again. Ohtani added an RBI single by hitting a right-handed hit in the fourth inning with Lux’s walk and Vargas’ infield hit.
Ohtani struck out in the sixth and ninth innings. The Dodgers beat the White Sox 4-3 to maintain its lead in the West Division of the National League. 카지노사이트 모음
According to the U.S. sports media ESPN, Freeman praised Ohtani’s performance in the first half of the year, saying, “What more can I say about him? I think we are saying everything we can say about how great Ohtani is. Sometimes I have to be grateful to be with a player like Ohtani.”
Ohtani, who signed a 10-year, astronomical $700 million contract with the Dodgers in December last year, said, “As I said before, I wanted to sign with this team and do my best for the team. Looking back, it was a really good first half.”
Ohtani, who is going through rehabilitation after undergoing surgery on his right elbow, will serve as a batter instead of a double whammy. “It is true that my training has decreased significantly compared to when I was a double whammy. I feel that I am gradually improving as a batter,” Ohtani said.
