Anaheim, California – Shohei Ohtani crushed his MLB-leading 36th homer in the first inning to spark the Los Angeles Angels’ offense in a 7-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
The two-way superstar had gone four games without a home run before sending Mitch Keller’s 3-2 cutter 410 feet over center field with a powerful, low-trajectory line drive to tie the game 1-1.
“I don’t know if I’ve seen a ball hit like that — a golf ball maybe,” Angels manager Phil Nevin told MLB.com. “Every day, he does something different to impress you.”
