4 years agoLos Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani made history on Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants, starting on the mound and hitting for himself with designated hitter rules in place. It was the first time in history that an American League team chose not to use a DH while a National League team utilized one. Ohtani allowed one run on six hits and two walks while striking out nine in a no-decision in six innings in an eventual extra-inning loss. The right-hander now has a 2.58 ERA with 82 strikeouts in 59 1/3 innings this year. He also went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts at the plate. It was Ohtani's fifth quality start in his last seven outings. The two-way Japanese star is a leading MVP candidate and is a must-start anytime he's on the mound or in the lineup.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
