[Epoch Times News on July 5, 2021](Comprehensive report by Epoch Times reporter Wei Wenbin) The record is endless. Los Angeles Angels “second-skill” player Otani Shohei, the Baltimore Orioles became his victim under fire, knocking out the 31st of the season, tying Matsui’s record of 31 home runs in a single season in 2004, and became a major league player. The 10th left hitter in history with at least 31 hits before the star game, used this home run to celebrate his 27th birthday.
In 3 innings, Shohei Otani, facing the Orioles starting pitcher Thomas Eshelman’s slid ball, hit a home run in the field, helping the Angels to take a 3-0 lead and also put himself on the home run list. Going alone, the Orioles struggled to catch up, scored 4 points in 6 rounds, and Cedric Mullins shot a good shot on 9 rounds. The Orioles led 5:4 instead.
In the 9th inning, the Angels had no one out and captured full base. Juan Lagares hit a second base in time and returned 2 points and said goodbye to the Orioles. It is worth mentioning that Shohei Otani is the first player in the history of the major leagues to be selected as both a fielder and a pitcher in the All-Star Game. In addition, the Angels have only 6 games left before the All-Star Game. Will they break the Barry Bonds? ) The 39 boom record set in 2001 is worthy of follow-up observation. ◇
