For the third time this season, Shohei Ohtani finishes a hit away from achieving his second career cycle as the Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 5-4.
At the plate, Shohei Ohtani looked like a skilled hitter on a hot streak, chasing another historic cycle. But on the mound, the Angels’ two-way star wasn’t as successful. Making matters worse, the Angels saw rookie fireballer Ben Joyce depart because of an injury.
Ohtani needed 31 pitches in the first, giving up a two-run home run to Jarred Kelenic, which prompted an early outing chat with pitching coach Matt Wise. Ohtani left after five innings, giving up three earned runs and three hits, with five walks and six strikeouts. The home run left Ohtani’s bat at 112.9 mph, which was the fourth- hardest-hit home run by a pitcher since 2015 .
Ohtani fell short of the cycle, missing a triple. He hit a double in the bottom of the fifth but was left stranded. It was the fourth time this season Ohtani had at least three hits in a game in which he pitched.Joyce, the team’s rookie reliever, came into Friday’s game having seen tangible success in the big leagues in a few short weeks.His name was called again to replace Ohtani to start the top of the sixth inning, but his outing lasted only five pitches before he seemed to be in distress.
