Tuesday night was somewhat of a Tungsten Arm O’Doyle performance for Shohei Ohtani. He went seven innings and looked dominant, but he allowed three runs on six hits — enough for the Angels to lose, 3-1, to Houston. Yet, Ohtani never fails to entertain MLB fans, and Tuesday was no exception.
Pitching in the sixth inning against the Astros’ Corey Julks, Ohtani looked to get ahead in the count with a fastball on the outside corner. The 98 mph pitch was just off the plate, though, and home plate umpire John Libka called the pitch accurately as a ball.
