Ohtani allowed one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out 10 across seven innings in Tuesday's loss to the Astros. He did not factor into the decision. At the plate, he went 1-for-4.

Ohtani did everything he could to keep the Angels in the game Tuesday. His only earned run came on a fifth-inning home run by Kyle Tucker. The two-way player has struggled with his control this season, walking 19 batters through his first four starts. However, he didn't show any signs of that against the Astros, walking only one batter and reaching double-digit strikeouts for the first time this season. In addition, he batted second and hit a single in the seventh inning. If that wasn't enough, after he was relieved in the eighth inning, he stayed in the game in right field.
