The opposing team continued to check Shohei Ohtani (29, LA Angels), who was about to hit 40 home runs. Two intentional walks came out two days in a row.

The season batting average remained at 0.302.

Ohtani, who showed off his heightened sense by recording two homers in the second game of the double header against the Detroit Tigers on the 28th and one homer in the match against Toronto on the 29th, took first base with two intentional walks in the match against Toronto on the previous day (30th). stepped on

On this day, too, Toronto was intensively checking, refusing to play head-to-head with Ohtani twice in the crisis of conceding points.

Ohtani retired with a floating ball to left field in the first at-bat in the first inning with one out and one on first base.

In the top of the 3rd inning, he led off with a hit to left. Afterwards, Ohtani, who advanced to second base when Mike Moustakas hit and third base when Matt Ties hit the ball, stepped on the home base on Hunter Renfro’s sacrifice fly and scored the first run.

Ohtani hit his third at-bat with two outs on second base in the top of the fourth inning. However, Toronto avoided a game with Ohtani and filled the first base with an intentional walk. Toronto pitcher Jose Berrios succeeded in hitting Mickey Moniak, the follow-up hitter.

Ohtani was out with a ground ball to the second baseman in the top of the 7th inning when the match was 1-1.

At the beginning of the ninth inning, Ohtani returned to bat once again from 1 out 1 base, and Toronto team Mayza’s wild throw made him 1 out 2 base. Then Toronto ordered an intentional walk without hesitation.먹튀검증
