Shohei Ohtani Joins Babe Ruth in Exclusive MLB Club
TL;DR Summary
Shohei Ohtani became just the second player in AL/NL history to record 500 strikeouts as a pitcher and 100 homers as a hitter, joining Hall of Famer Babe Ruth. Ohtani struck out 13 batters to reach 500 in his career, but struggled through a three-run fourth inning and gave up four runs over five innings in a second straight tough outing. However, Jake Lamb and Mike Trout both homered in the ninth to lead the Angels to a 6-4 win and help Ohtani avoid the loss against the Cardinals on Wednesday at Busch Stadium.
