Angels’ Shohei Ohtani makes case to start in All-Star Game

There is less than a week until the All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium. On Wednesday at Angel Stadium, Dusty Baker, who will manage the American League team, got a chance to see one of his potential starting pitchers in person.

Shohei Ohtani delivered another stellar performance both on the mound and at the plate as the Angels played Baker’s Houston Astros.

Ohtani racked up 12 strikeouts, walking two batters and giving up four hits and one earned run over six innings and 105 pitches. He became just the second pitcher in Angels history to record 10 or more strikeouts in four consecutive starts. The other pitcher to do so was Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan.
