Baseball: Ohtani homers in 2nd straight game as Dodgers down Royals
KYODO NEWS - 8 hours ago - 14:43 | Sports, All Shohei Ohtani hit a home run for the second straight game and also had an RBI triple as the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the Kansas City Royals 5-4 on Friday for their fifth consecutive win. The two-way star slugged a leadoff homer to right off a 1-2 changeup from Noah Cameron (2-4) at Kauffman Stadium, going deep for the National League lead-extending 29th time this year. Trailing 4-3 with a runner on and no out in the fifth, Ohtani then tied the game by lining a drive to right-center for a triple off the left-hander's 1-1 four-seamer, and scored the decisive run on a Mookie Betts single. Ohtani went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a walk on the eve of his next pitching start against the Royals on Saturday, his first away game on the mound this season. Tomoyuki Sugano had a wild start and surrendered seven runs over five innings on nine hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk, but picked up the unlikely win as the Baltimore Orioles roared back to batter the Tampa Bay Rays 22-8. Jonathan Aranda and Josh Lowe hit a solo shot each before Brandon Lowe cranked a three-run shot to right off Sugano (6-4) in a six-run second at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Orioles scored four runs in the home half and added another in the third to cut the arrears before Sugano allowed his last run in the fourth on three straight singles. However, a Colton Cowser RBI double and Gary Sanchez's two-run shot in the fifth gave the Orioles a lead they would not surrender. "In my long baseball career, it's probably the first time I earned the win giving up this many runs," said Sugano after his team amassed 14 runs over three innings after he got the hook. "I was tense and couldn't get the subtleties of my control right. I know the reason why."

Baseball: Imanaga gets win in return from injury, Ohtani hits 28th HR
KYODO NEWS - 23 hours ago - 13:40 | Sports, All Chicago Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga picked up his fourth win of the season in his return from a hamstring strain and Shohei Ohtani hit his National League-leading 28th home run for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. Imanaga (4-2) allowed only two baserunners via a single and a walk in five innings of work in the Cubs' 3-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The Japanese left-hander struck out three en route to lowering his ERA to 2.54. Michael Busch hit a solo home run in the second inning and scored the Cubs' second run in the fourth on a bases-loaded walk to Ian Happ. "Working on a limited pitch count, I didn't want to be pulled after something like 4-2/3 innings, so I'm glad I got through five innings," said Imanaga, who missed nearly two months after suffering the left hamstring injury in his May 4 start. "I've realized that leaving a hole in the rotation would put my starting spot in jeopardy, so I need to prepare well for each start." Cubs teammate Seiya Suzuki went hitless in three at-bats. At Coors Field, Ohtani's seventh-inning solo homer capped the scoring in the Dodgers' 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies. It was his third home run in four games. Ohtani went 1-for-3 with the RBI.
