Shohei Ohtani started at second base and gave up one run on four hits, including a timely hit in the top of the ninth inning. The team suffered back-to-back painful losses, and their overall record stands at 21-20, with only one run saved.

Before the game, MLB's official social networking service posted a video. Speaking of Ohtani's game against the Guardians, the approach was to revive a famous scene from five years ago.

This was his memorable MLB No. 1, and he said, "Big fly! Big fly! The scene was so memorable that the famous commentary, "Big fly! 　What awaited Ohtani, who had returned to the dugout with great joy, was the customary "silent treatment" from the majors. It is a ritual in which teammates intentionally feign indifference to a rookie's first homer, and the scene of a forlorn Ohtani hugging one of the players for a high-five drew a huge response in Japan. 　 　

When the MLB official introduced the scene, "Shohei Otani hit his first career home run against Cleveland," the comments section was filled with comments from U.S. fans. It's a very famous scene, isn't it?" Shohei's reaction is great," "It's cute no matter how many times I see it," "He's already loved by the members at the time," "It's a very pure moment," "It's the beginning of a legend," etc., etc., were among the positive messages. 　

After finishing the three-game series against the Guardians with a win and two losses, the Angels traveled to Baltimore. The Angels will play a three-game series against the Orioles, and Ohtani is scheduled to play a "dual role" in the second game on May 16.
