The Angels' second straight victory against the Mariners came on the back of their two-way MVP candidate as Ohtani reached base twice in three at-bats, drove in his 89th run and lowered his ERA to 2.43 in 148 total innings.
"I don't like to self-critique myself in any way," Ohtani said through an interpreter as he is in the midst of an MVP chase with the New York Yankees' Aaron Judge."One thing I could say is, overall, balance-wise, I'm having a better season this year than I had last year."
Ohtani helped make it 2-0 in the fourth inning when he worked a leadoff walk against Kirby, moved to third on a single and a wild pitch, then scored on a ground out by Matt Duffy. After Barria allowed a run in the eighth for Los Angeles, Aaron Loup pitched the ninth for his first save."I thought it was a good outing. I could execute a little better," Kirby said."I didn't have too much feel for my slider tonight, but I commanded the fastball pretty well, for the most part, minus one walk. I just gotta go to the next one."
