- Shohei Ohtani fouled a 2-2 pitch off his ankle in the fifth inning. He fouled the next pitch off his leg, just above his knee. The Los Angeles Angels slugger shook off the pain, stepped back in and immediately hit a 433-foot homer that gave him a new place in Japanese baseball history. "That's how tough he is," Angels manager Joe Maddon said. "He stayed in there, got himself right and hit a homer." Ohtani hit his major league-leading 32nd homer and broke the single-season major league record for homers by a Japanese player during the Angels' 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. read more https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=401228343
