“Every time he takes the hill, you can expect something special to happen,” said Angel Angels interim manager Phil Nevin. “Everything was working. When he got past seven, I thought that would happen. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until next time.”
Otani said through translator Ebi Mizuhara that he was surprised by eight runs. He said he wasn’t happy with his fastball and went with more broken balls than usual.
“Honestly, the pace in my fastball wasn’t as fast as normal,” he said. “But my slider was doing its job and it was working. I’m kind of amazed at my stuff today.”
