LTBU!

What a great start to the day: Ohtani gets a CG SO when needed the most, the hitters put up a 6 spot with what figures to be the "B lineup" of the two games. Love love love it!

[TroutField]

He just never seizes to do something amazing 

[Jason]

Seems like CGs are rare for the Halos. Good  job Ohtani!

[T.G.]

A truly defining moment for Ohtani. 

He said he'd do anything he could to help the team win and he did exactly that today.

Darn! I was hoping for a day night Dh.

SORRY! I had a brain freeze. I forgot no game yesterday

Right, I was thinking uhhhh he is available tonight dude haha

Great to see Ward and Rengifo tearing it up this month.  They aren't 1.000 OPS guys, but I don't think they are  .600 OPS guys either

Not the perfect game i was hoping for but that still works.

I think it is shorter because it is a travel day.

Dominant pitching performance by Shohei! Congratulations on your complete game one hit shutout.

Ward is putting it together and typically has a solid approach at the plate. I think he could be that consistent .750-.825 OPS hitter that the team needs for the next few seasons, including the rest of this year.

As great a pitching gem without it being a no hitter. An economy of pitches, solid control, letting the defense get the outs without excessive strikeouts. 

I have to be out around two for some errands, but will record the second game. A sweep would be great. Especially after the trade and a boost in confidence going to Toronto.

The perfect result in game 1

Ohtani shuts them out, and rests the pen for game 2 where Lopez will also be available.

Trade gave them all a boost?

More great insight from Heyman who is probably devastated that he remains an Angel. Easily the worst of the national guys imo
