Ohtani Breaks Out, Dominates on Mound and Plate

Shohei Ohtani silenced any concerns about his early season performance by going 3-for-4 with two walks and a run while also pitching six shutout innings against the Diamondbacks. The two-way star now leads the National League with a .420 on-base percentage and has improved his season stats to .301/.420/.521 with a 165 OPS+, better than all but one of his Angels seasons. capturengo.org

Meanwhile, the Astros suffered a setback against the Pirates, surrendering a grand slam to catcher Henry Davis after building an early 2-0 lead. The loss adds to Houston's recent struggles after they appeared to have recovered from their early-season woes.
