Shohei Ohtani recorded 10-plus strikeouts in his fourth consecutive start, fanning 12 in six innings of one-run ball in the Los Angeles Angels' 7-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Wednesday.
Ohtani (9-4) turned in another stellar two-way performance at Angel Stadium, where he matched his MLB career-high with his ninth win in a four-hit, two-walk effort on the mound. At the plate, he hit a two-run triple as part a 2-for-4 night.
"I'm just trying to throw aggressively in the zone and and I feel like strikeouts can bring the momentum to our side," Ohtani said.
