Shohei Ohtani doubled to key a two-run third inning, leading the Angels to a 3-1 win over the New York Mets in the first game after Los Angeles announced the two-way superstar had torn an elbow ligament.
After Nolan Schanuel was hit by a pitch leading off the third, Ohtani ripped a double, clocked at 115.4 mph, that glanced off the glove of right fielder Jeff McNeil. Ohtani advanced to third on Brandon Drury’s sacrifice fly and scored on Mike Moustakas’ single.
Patrick Sandoval allowed one run over six innings of two-hit ball. He threw 107 pitches, his most since a career-high 115 on July 30, 2021. Senga gave up two runs and struck out 10 — his third double-digit strikeout effort of the season — in 6 2/3 innings.Angels general manager Perry Minasian said Ohtani will continue to serve as designated hitter while pursuing the second opinion that will help him decide if he’ll undergo the second Tommy John surgery of his career. Ohtani also underwent the procedure following the 2018 season.
