Starting pitcher as “No. 2, designated hitter” in the game against the Blue Jays
■ Blue Jays – Angels (Japan time 29th, Toronto)
Angels pitcher Shohei Otani will start on the 28th (Japan time 29th, game starts at 8:07) against the Blue Jays as the 2nd designated hitter. Will he jump out with No. 39 home run, which will be a two-game streak?
In the double header against the Tigers held in the enemy territory on the 27th (28th) the day before, he marked his 9th win with a one-hit shutout in the first game. In the second game, he had two runs at No. 37 and a solo at No. 38. He was substituted in the seventh inning due to a “convulsion” but helped his team win four straight games. The team was 3rd in the district with 54 wins and 49 losses before the game. It is three games behind the wild card advance range.
The Blue Jays will start right-hander Kevin Gaussman. This season, he pitched in 20 games with 7 wins and 5 losses, an ERA of 3.18, and a league-leading 162 strikeouts. With Ohtani, he has no hits in 6 at bats and 4 strikeouts.
