The Angels, who are retaining the services of star two-way talent Shohei Ohtani for at least the remainder of this season, were rewarded for their faith in a big way on Thursday afternoon.
Less than 24 hours after Sports Illustrated’s Tom Verducci reported that the organization had decided not to deal the two-way superstar at the trade deadline, Ohtani posted a historic performance during the club’s doubleheader against the Tigers.
In the opener, the American League MVP frontrunner pitched an absolute masterpiece, recording the first complete game shutout of his Major League Baseball career.
