Shohei Ohtani first AL pitcher in nearly 60 years to homer twice, strike out 10, Angels beat ChiSox

Associated Press  

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani’s combination of power and pitching is unmatched by any player in baseball. Ohtani hit two homers and struck out 10 Chicago batters in the Los Angeles Angels’ 4-2 victory over the White Sox, adding another extraordinary performance in what has been one of his best months since coming to the majors in 2018. Ohtani, who leads the majors with 28 home runs, hit solo shots in the first and seventh innings, the first time he has gone deep twice while also pitching. The last AL player before Ohtani to hit at least two homers and strike out at least 10 was Cleveland’s Pedro Ramos on July 31, 1963. TRAINER’S ROOM White Sox: RHP Liam Hendriks will play catch Wednesday for first time since going on the injured list on June 11.
