Shohei Ohtani leads MLB with 44 home runs but went 0 for 2 with three walks — two intentional — on Saturday in Oakland
OAKLAND – The Oakland A’s were booed heartily in both the fifth and ninth innings Saturday – mainly by spectators wearing red — when manager Mark Kotsay elected to intentionally walk Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani.
“We were fortunate today to be successful with that theory and method,” Kotsay said of walking Ohtani, who entered Saturday with an MLB-leading 44 homers. Blackburn didn’t feel great about the way he pitched Saturday but allowed just one run and four hits over five innings to improve to 4-4 on the season.
