“4th, 3rd base” was retired until the 4th at bat
■ Angels 12-0 Raise (11th Japan time, Anaheim)
Angels’ Anthony Rendon infielder hit a home run in the left at bat while being a right-handed batter in the raise match on the 10th (11th Japan time). In the 8th inning with a large lead of 8-0, fielder Phillips was on the pitch.
Rendon, who started in “4th and 3rd base”, had retired until the 4th at bat. In the 8th inning, Trout’s solo added 1 point, and Otani was the 5th at bat, which was greeted by a double hit by a right-wing fence. He entered the left at bat, scooped up the lower ball and carried it to the right middle seat, and was shrouded in screams and cheers.
US reporters can’t hide their surprise. “Orange County Register” reporter JP Hornstra said on Twitter: “Anthony Rendon, who stood in the left at bat, followed Shohei Ohtani on a home run to the right. This is ridiculous. 12-0,” “Barry. “Sports West” reporter Erica Weston tweeted, “Rendon is a home run from the left at bat. This game is wild (laughs).”
Rendon has played 28 games this season with a batting average of .206. With this surprise shot, the Angels achieved all the starting hits, and when it was over, 18 hits and 12 points and the batting line exploded. Detmers, the starting pitcher, achieved a no-hitter no-run and hit the ball tightly, and the team won three consecutive victories.
