NBC Los Angeles on MSNWatch: Shohei Ohtani strikes out the side in the first inning, throws three shutout innings against rival GiantsIn the shadow of McCovey Cove, where less than 24 hours earlier he sent a towering home run into the salty bay, Shohei Ohtani stood tall on the Oracle Park mound—his right arm finally looking like the weapon it once was.
The Los Angeles star hit his first career splash hit at the San Francisco Giants' Oracle Park, smashing a first-pitch cutter from All-Star Logan Webb 410 feet to right field with a 106-mph exit velocity. One of the kayakers in McCovey Cove leapt from his boat to secure the ball.
