Ohtani Flirts With No - Hitter En Route To 15th Win
Japanese superstar Ohtani Shohei of the Los Angeles Angels has recorded his 15th win of the season.
And he came within a few outs of doing so in historic fashion.
Ohtani entered the eighth inning with nine strikeouts, one walk...and no hits allowed.
The reigning American League MVP was at his dazzling best, dominating the Oakland Athletics' lineup with an array of fastballs, sliders, and curveballs.
He lost his no-hit bid on a two-out single, but got out of the inning without giving up a run. He finished with 10 strikeouts and only two hits allowed.
Ohtani also had an excellent day at the plate, getting two hits and driving in a run. He extended his hitting streak to 14 games.
The Angels won by a final score of 4-2.
Ohtani is scheduled to take the mound one more time on the final day of the season.
