Shohei Ohtani joins exclusive club after more record-breaking LA Angels heroics

Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani followed in the footsteps of baseball legend Babe Ruth after becoming the second-ever player to reach 500 strikeouts as a pitcher and 100 home runs.

The 28-year-old Japan-born pitcher, nicknamed "Shotime", helped change the Angels' fortunes against the St Louis Cardinals after his team spent most of the night trailing.

The Angels were able to put together three runs in the ninth inning to run out 6-4 winners over the Cardinals, with Ohtani scoring the final run, following on from teammates Mike Trout and Jake Lamb, who hit solo home runs during the three-run rally.
