Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (31) started the game against the Angels on enemy territory on the 17th (18th Japan time) as the “No. 1/DH”. He contributed to the team’s five consecutive wins with three hits in one game, his third of the season and first in May. Before the game, he was seen chatting with senior pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (34) and other E-gun players. After Otani finished playing catch during pre-match practice, he had a chat with Kikuchi, a senior at Hanamaki Higashi who competed with Samurai Japan in the WBC in March of this year. They talked for about six minutes, and at the end, the two got along well and posed for the camera for an Angels publicity shoot.
