Shohei Ohtani Ties Career-High With 13 Ks as Angels 2-Way Star Joins 500-K, 100-HR Club

The Angels are 17-14 on the season, but they’re now 5-0 when Shohei Ohtani pitches. Baseball’s beloved two-way star was as sensational as ever on Wednesday en route to another piece of Babe Ruth-like history. Ohtani fanned 13 batters to tie his career-high in a 6-4 win over the Cardinals. He also hit the 500-strikeout milestone, joining Babe Ruth as the only player in baseball history with 500 Ks and 100 home runs. It seems like every time Ohtani takes the stage, history gets made.
