During his three-year tour de force on baseball, two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani is running out of firsts. Whether on the mound or in the batter’s box—or both—he pulls off historic feats on nearly a nightly basis. So anytime he checks another milestone off of his lengthy list of career accomplishments, it’s worth noting.
And he pulled off just that with a sensational performance on the mound Thursday against the Tigers.
Ohtani fired his first career shutout as the Angels cruised to a 6–0 victory in the first leg of a doubleheader. The dominant showing was also the first-ever complete game thrown by Ohtani since he arrived in MLB in 2018.
