Shohei Ohtani caps Angels comeback in Boston with game-winning homer at Fenway
Have the Shohei Ohtani for MVP chants started yet?
If you haven’t been paying attention, the two-way player, who plays as both a pitcher and an outfielder, has been having one heck of season. It’s like a non-stop carousel of highlights and Sunday’s game against the Boston Red Sox was no exception. The Angels were down to their last out when Ohtani, who was playing in the outfield today, stepped up to the plate.
In literally the last moment, Ohtani hit a two-run homer to edge the Angels over the Red Sox to win 6-5 and stopping a Red Sox sweep in Boston.
Sho-Time in Boston came at the right time
That had to feel good.
This isn’t the first highlight for Ohtani, even in this series. On Friday, he hit a massive homer over the 37 foot, 2 inch high left-field wall at Fenway Park. He has been all the rage this season, even getting compared to legends like Babe Ruth. Ohtani’s blast on Sunday tied him for the league lead in home runs.
Keep your eyes on Ohtani, he’s building something special and we can all be front and center to history.
