Ohtani drops to his left knee during a third-inning blast then adds another three-run homer in the fifth in an 8-1 exhibition victory over the Hanshin Tigers.
TOKYO — Angels star Shohei Ohtani hit a pair of three-run homers in a prep game for the World Baseball Classic, helping Japan defeat the Central League’s Hanshin Tigers, 8-1, in an exhibition on Monday night.
Ohtani struck out in his first at-bat and suggested he might have had jet lag after traveling from spring training in Arizona. The WBC begins Wednesday with two games in Taiwan: Cuba vs. the Netherlands, and Panama vs. Taiwan. Japan opens Thursday against China at the Tokyo Dome. Ohtani is expected to be Japan’s designated hitter.
