[Reporter Gong Naiyu/Comprehensive Report] The Angels Shohei Otani made a two-shot attack in the opening game of the major leagues. He scored 10K in the first 6 innings and hit the first safety of the season. Unfortunately, the bullpen set fire to the opening game in the 8th inning. Reversed by the athletes, the Angels swallowed a bitter defeat 1:2 in the final game.

Shohei Otani served as the starter for the opening game for two consecutive years. Last year, he lost 1 run against the Astros in 5 innings of 9K. Otani missed the chance to become the 4th Japanese voter to win the opening victory since Hero Nomo, Hiroki Kuroda, and Masahiro Tanaka.
