Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) put on a show, drawing four walks in one game.
Ohtani started in the No. 2 spot in the lineup and went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored against the New York Yankees on Tuesday at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.
Without a hit, Ohtani saw his hitting streak come to a halt at seven games and his season batting average drop to .306 from .307.
He did, however, draw four walks in the game to move into a tie for second in the American League in walks with 56 on the season.
Ohtani faced Yankees starter Carlos Rodon in the first inning and drew a full-count walk. Taylor Ward followed with a two-run homer, scoring Ohtani.
In the third inning, Ohtani led off with a walk, this time on a full count. Ward followed with a walk to load the bases, and when Mickey Moniak singled to right, Ohtani crossed home plate.
After being stranded at first base with one out in the fourth inning on a wild pitch, Ohtani continued his hot streak in the sixth inning, taking second base on a wild pitch.
Ohtani completed his four-hit performance in his final at-bat. He drew another walk on a full count with one out. Ward followed with a double to center, but Moniak and Eduardo Escobar were stranded at second and third, respectively, on a grounder to short and a fly ball to center.
Meanwhile, the Angels swept a three-game home series against the Yankees with a 7-3 victory. The Angels improve to 49-48 on the season and sit in third place in the American League West.
