Shohei Ohtani crushed his 16th home run of the season Saturday off countryman Yusei Kikuchi, who made an early exit from the Los Angeles Angels' 12-5 win over the Seattle Mariners after being hit in the leg by a groundball.
Despite falling behind 1-0 on Ohtani's first-inning blast, Kikuchi was making a strong bid for his fourth win of the season when a comebacker drilled him in the right leg.
The left-hander fanned eight and allowed two earned runs on five hits before being assisted off the diamond with nobody out in the bottom of the fifth at Angel Stadium.
