The Athletics are hitting .178 in after their first series, losing the third game 6-0 to the Angels at the Coliseum.
It was Ohtani who struck out Trout for the final out of Japan’s 3-2 win in the WBC over the United States on March 22 in Miami.
The A’s won 2-1 on Opening Night, followed by a 13-1 loss Saturday and then the series-ending shutout. They are hitting .178 and have scored in just three of 27 innings to open the season. “Offense is momentum and we haven’t been able to put it together and string hits together,” Kotsay said. “We haven’t had a big inning yet this year.”
True enough, O’Hoppe’s three-run shot barely made it over the 362 foot sign in left center and broke open a scoreless game in the fourth against Waldichuck, who pitched three scoreless innings after a rough spring. The fifth inning was the final gut punch. Ward’s single was followed by Trout’s two-run shot, and on the very next pitch, Ohtani delivered his blast.
