Shohei Ohtani was back in the lineup on Thursday night, and he made his presence felt. The Angels designated hitter jumped on a first-pitch fastball from Josh Fleming in the bottom of the third inning and launched it 428 feet to right-center field for a two-run shot.
It was the 10th of the season for Ohtani, putting him in a tie for the Major League lead with Boston’s J.D. Martinez and Atlanta’s Ronald Acuña Jr. Ohtani’s homer came off the bat at 107.6 mph a day after he was pumping in 99-plus mph heat during his outing on the mound.
