Shohei Ohtani’s outing was the 26th since at least 1901 with 10+ strikeouts and no runs allowed on Opening Day
it’s the first time that pitcher’s team lost the game
FINAL: The Angels lose 2-1 to the A's.
Shohei Ohtani threw 6 shutout innings in a dominant effort.
But, they mustered one just run. And the bullpen couldn't hold the lead.
It may be a much different year for the Angels. But the first game feels very much the same.
LAA is 0-1.
Aaron Loup has faced two batters and given up the lead. A double by Tony Kemp ties the game in the 8th inning.
He's the lead run at second base with 0 outs.
1-1.
12 years ago today, Brian Jacques the author of the Redwall series passed on.
Tonight I happened to finish this months-long tribute to his book Martin The Warrior, the first book I ever fell in love with, and it feels fitting
Thank you with all my heart, Brian 💜
