Shohei Ohtani reminds Alex Cora of Barry Bonds, Red Sox hold him down with game on the line Ohtani going deep more often than anyone since Bonds in 2004
By Jason Mastrodonato | jason.mastrodonato@bostonherald.com | Boston Herald PUBLISHED: July 6, 2021 at 2:40 a.m. | UPDATED: July 6, 2021 at 2:48 a.m.
The Red Sox handled Shohei Ohtani on Monday night, but just barely.
Ohtani went 1-for-5 with three men left on base, including the game-tying run that he stranded on third when he roped a hard grounder into the shift for the final out.
The Sox snuck away with a 5-4 victory over the Angels, but manager Alex Cora was impressed by what he saw.
“I played in Southern California for a while here, and I’ve never seen the fans show up in the ballpark, show up early and stay all the way to the end,” Cora said of a packed Angel Stadium, which sold 38,201 tickets for this one. “That’s what he brings to the equation. It’s good for baseball. People love it. It seems like every pitch when he’s at the plate, you can hear the oohs and ahhs, and I think it’s great for baseball.”
Cora then added one more compliment for Ohtani.
“He’s a threat, pretty similar to when Barry Bonds was doing his thing,’ Cora said. “It felt that way. Everybody was into every pitch, every swing.”
Comparing someone to Bonds might be the best thing you can say about a modern day baseball player.
And he’s not wrong.
Since Bonds entered the majors in 1986, there have been only two players to hit home runs at a pace faster than one every nine at-bats: Bonds and Mark McGwire, who have both since admitted to using steroids.
This year, there’s one more name to add to that list: Ohtani, who is hitting one home run every 8.94 at-bats, the fastest pace of any qualified player since Bonds in 2004.
There was a bit of humor in hearing Cora compare Ohtani to Bonds after the game, given Cora wouldn’t even say Ohtani was the best hitter in the league this year.
“He’s not the best hitter,” Cora said pregame. “He’s not the best pitcher. But you combine everything and he’s the best player. I leave it at that. He’s in the conversation (for MVP).”
Starter Martin Perez struck him out on a low changeup in the first inning, then broke Ohtani’s bat for a groundout when he jammed him inside on a first-pitch sinker in the third.
Ohtani finally won a battle in the sixth, when he hit a single to left field that should’ve scored Josh Rojas, if not for a fantastic throw by Danny Santana to nail Rojas at the plate.
Cora had his bullpen lined up perfectly to bring on lefty Josh Taylor to face the left-handed hitting Ohtani in the seventh.
Taylor entered having thrown 25 consecutive scoreless outings. His first batter was Ohtani. He got ahead 0-2, then left a juicy slider over the center of the plate, but Ohtani popped it up to shallow left.
That he hung a slider and still recorded an out was a testament to how good Taylor’s best pitch has been working all year. Hitters are batting .193 off that pitch. He’s now one scoreless outing away from tying the franchise record of 27 set by Koji Uehara in 2013.
“We tried to make an adjustment in spring training with his hands,” Cora said of Taylor. “He was late in spring training and didn’t feel comfortable. He tried early in the season and didn’t feel comfortable. Then he went back to where his hands are right now (holding them low). It’s just a comfort thing…
“He’s been amazing, getting lefties, righties out, traffic or no traffic, in the eighth or the sixth, it doesn’t matter. This guy is one of the best lefties in the big leagues right now.”
The big test with Ohtani came in the ninth, when Adam Ottavino was trying to shut the door as Matt Barnes had the night off.
Ottavino walked the leadoff man, Jose Iglesias, and struck out the next two batters. But Rojas punched a two-out single to left field, and David Fletcher did the same thing to score one and cut the Sox’ lead to 5-4.
A wild pitch resulted in the tying run moving to third base with Ohtani at the plate.
“I was trying to avoid ever getting to that point,” Ottavino said. “I had in the back of my mind, ‘don’t let Ohtani come up.’ Of course it happens.”
He started the Japanese sensation with three straight sliders, all off the plate, and Ohtani whiffed at one of them. The count 2-1, Ottavino shook off catcher Christian Vazquez and threw a fastball, but missed again to make it 3-1.
“I just thought, ‘I’m not sure what he’s looking for, but I’m going to live and die with my best pitch (my slider),” Ottavino said. “And plus, the shift in that situation, so I felt like it was a good bet. It worked out.”
Ohtani smoked a hard grounder to the right side. It took one bounce then Christian Arroyo fielded it in shallow right field and threw to first to end the game.
Six of the last eight games have been decided by one run, and the Sox have won five of those six.
The bullpen passed the Ohtani test on Monday. There are two more games to go in the series. Ohtani is also starting on the mound on Tuesday night.

Boston Red Sox’s Adam Ottavino hoped not to face Shohei Ohtani, then got him out to end game vs. Angels: ‘It’s ready for battle’ Updated 4:12 AM; Today 2:42 AM
By Chris Cotillo | ccotillo@MassLive.com
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Red Sox reliever Adam Ottavino is perhaps best known for saying he could strike out Babe Ruth. In the ninth inning of Monday’s game in Anaheim, he got his chance against the modern-day version.
Ottavino, called upon for ninth-inning duty with Matt Barnes unavailable after throwing 33 pitches Sunday, had allowed back-to-back two-out singles -- including one by Jose Rojas that shrunk Boston’s lead to 5-4 -- when Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani stepped to the plate with a chance to either tie the game or win it. Considering Ohtani was the sixth man due up when the inning started, facing him was something Ottavino desperately wanted to avoid.
“I was trying to avoid it ever getting to that point. I had in the back of my mind, like, ‘Don’t let Ohtani come up,’” Ottavino said. “But of course, it happens. In the moment, it’s ready for battle. It’s a fun situation.”
With two runners on, Ottavino knew that Ohtani -- who leads baseball with 31 homers -- could very well end the game with one swing. So he decided to use a slider-heavy approach, throwing three straight breaking balls to go down 2-1 before missing with a slider that made the count 3-1. With Ohtani ahead in the count -- and the Sox shifted on the right side -- Ottavino went back to his slider. Though the pitch was in the middle of the strike zone, Ohtani got on top of it and hit a one-hop grounder to second baseman Christian Arroyo in short right field to end the game.
“I’m not sure what he’s looking for but I’m going to just live and die with my best pitch,” Ottavino said. “Plus the shift was in that situation. I felt like it was a good bet and it kind of worked out.”
The ball came off Ohtani’s bat at 101.3 mph and had an expected batting average of .910, but Arroyo was shifted in the perfect spot to handle it. Ottavino said he was just hoping the infielder would knock it down with his chest.
“I knew he was over there,” he said. “I always check the shifts. Part of the reason I wanted to stay breaking ball there is so, if anything, he would pull it, because I knew all of our guys were over there. Christian is really good at those plays. That’s a tough ball, it’s hit hard with topspin. I was like, ‘Just stop it.’ And he did, so it was beautiful.”
Ohtani was 1-for-5 in the series opener against the Red Sox and is now 5-for-20 (.200) with two homers in four games against Boston this season. Almost two months after Ohtani gave the Halos a win with a dramatic ninth-inning homer off Matt Barnes at Fenway Park, Ottavino made sure history didn’t repeat itself.
“Adam did an amazing job against him,” Cora said. “I think we did a great job against him but he’s a threat. Pretty similar to when Barry was doing his thing. It felt that way. Everybody is into every pitch and every swing.”
Cora, a former Dodger, was impressed at how loud the Angel Stadium crowd of 38,201 was when Ohtani stepped to the plate in the ninth.
“I played in southern California for a while here and I’ve never seen the fans show up to the ballpark so early and stay all the way until the end,” he said. “That’s what he’s bringing to the equation. It’s good for baseball. People love it. It seems like every pitch, when he’s at the plate, you can hear the ‘Oohs’ and ‘Aahs.’ I think it’s great for baseball.”

Red Sox
Boston Red Sox notebook: Outfield defense continues to impress; Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) day-to-day, Chris Sale will throw again Tuesday Updated 4:32 AM; Today 4:32 AM
By Chris Cotillo | ccotillo@MassLive.com
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- While Adam Ottavino’s ninth-inning battle against Shohei Ohtani was the headline-making moment of Monday’s win over the Angels, the Red Sox would not have been in position to beat the Halos without some stellar outfield defense earlier in the game.
Both left fielder Danny Santana and center fielder Kiké Hernández each had key outfield assists in the win and Hernández made a stellar catch to robbed Luis Rengifo of an extra-base hit in the victory. In the fifth, Santana gunned down Jose Rojas at home plate as he tried to score from second on an Ohtani single. An inning later, Hernández nabbed Max Stassi at second as he tried to stretch a single into a double.
The two plays put the Red Sox at 28 outfield assists on the season -- by far the most in the majors.
“They’ve been saving a lot of runs for us, and that’s great,” said starter Martín Pérez. “When you have those kind of guys, they’re going to make the play for you every time you go out there.”
Hernández, who was originally signed to be the everyday second baseman, has continually impressed manager Alex Cora with his play in center.
“We always said that when we had the lead, he was going to end up playing second base. It’s just that the other guys stepped up at that base,” he said. “That play by Christian (Arroyo) at the end was great. We’ve been able to turn double plays with Marwin (Gonzalez), Christian (Arroyo) and Michael (Chavis), so we’re very comfortable with them at second base. The way he has been playing center field, it’s above average.
“The fact they have to respect their arms, all of them out there, we can shut the running game down just because of who they are. It’s a plus for us,” Cora said.
Gonzalez day-to-day (hamstring); Sale, Seabold set for live sessions Tuesday
Utility man Marwin Gonzalez was removed from Monday’s game in the third inning with right hamstring tightness and was replaced in left field by Santana. Gonzalez started feeling discomfort running from first to second on a Bobby Dalbec single in the second inning and is day-to-day.
“Hopefully, it’s not an IL thing,” Cora said. “Hopefully, he’s ready -- not tomorrow, we’ll stay away from him -- but maybe the next day or when we get home on Friday.”
In other injury news, two injured pitchers -- Chris Sale (Tommy John surgery) and Connor Seabold (elbow inflammation) will both throw live batting practice sessions in Fort Myers on Tuesday. Sale will throw a two-inning up-and-down session while Seabold will toss three simulated innings at Fenway South.
Taylor keeps cruising
Reliever Josh Taylor continued his hot stretch Monday, retiring all four hitters he faced. With two outs in the seventh, Taylor got Ohtani to fly out to end the inning. He came back for the eighth and recorded two strikeouts; in total, the lefty needed 13 pitches.
Taylor has now made 26 scoreless appearances, which is one short of the club record. Koji Uehara went 27 straight outings without allowing a run in 2013.
Taylor posted a 9.72 ERA in his first nine outings but has lowered it to 2.70 with with 23 straight scoreless innings since April 30. Cora credits a mechanical adjustment.
“He has been amazing. His fastball is playing, his slider, his composure,” Cora said. “That first part in April... We tried to make an adjustment in spring training with his hands. It was late in spring training and he didn’t feel comfortable. He tried early in the season and he didn’t feel comfortable. Then he went back to where his hands are at right now. It’s just a comfort level.
“We felt like that was going to work for (Taylor) but it didn’t work out in his first two or three outings,” Cora explained. “Then he decided, ‘You know what, if I’m going down, I’m going down my way’ and he has been amazing. Getting lefties, righties out, with traffic or no traffic. In the eighth, in the sixth, it doesn’t matter. This guy, he is one of the best lefties in the big leagues right now. The way he has been throwing has been amazing.”
Devers has three hits, including homer
First-time All-Star Rafael Devers stayed hot Monday, going 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs. His two-run homer off Dylan Bundy in the fourth inning came on a 3-0 pitch.
“I always said that when he dominates the strike zone the way he’s dominating it right now, he’s that good,” Cora said. “He hits the home run to right, right-center, then against Claudio, he sits on the fastball and goes the other way. He’s just a pure hitter. Sometimes, I don’t want to tell him to be more selective because it might work against him.”
Cora looking forward to Eovaldi’s ASG appearance
Nathan Eovaldi is a first-time All-Star as well, and the Red Sox don’t plan to try to stop him from appearing in the exhibition on July 13 in Denver. In fact, Cora is so inclined to have the righty pitch in the All-Star Game that he’s planning on reshuffling the club’s rotation to start the second half of the season in order to accommodate Eovaldi.
“He’s a go for the All-Star Game. He’ll pitch. We would love him to pitch,” Cora said. “We will make adjustments coming out of the All-Star break with the rotation just to make sure he stays healthy. We’re not going to rush him right away. You guys know how the effort is every five days. It’ll be interesting to see the radar gun at Coors Field that night. Hopefully, he throws 94-95 (mph) instead of 102. I know he’ll have a blast with it and we’ll adjust from there.”
Pérez solid again
Pérez continued his solid season against the Halos, allowing two runs (one earned) on eight hits in 5 ⅓ innings. With one start left to go before the All-Star break, the veteran is 7-4 with a 3.89 ERA.
Pérez allowed his fair share of baserunners in Anaheim but avoided further damage.
“That’s what you need to do,” he said. “I gave up hits and then just tried to go by pitch-by-pitch trying to get out of innings. Good outing.”
Eovaldi to battle Ohtani on Tuesday night
The Red Sox will get their only chance of the year to face Ohtani on the mound Tuesday night in the second game of a three-game series. All-Star righty Nathan Eovaldi will close out his first half with first pitch scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET.

Red Sox @ Halos Tuesday, 6th July 2021 930 @ Big A
Nasty Nate 9-4/3.41
Eovaldi fired seven scoreless innings on Thursday to get the win as the Red Sox defeated the Royals 15-1. The 31-year-old allowed just five hits during the contest without surrendering a walk. Eovaldi generated a 40 percent CSW on his slider and 31 percent CSW overall, collecting five strikeouts in total. The right-hander is now 5-2 with a 2.27 ERA over his last eight starts and carries a 3.41 ERA and 1.20 over 97 2.3 innings this season.
Ohtani 3-1/3.60
Ohtani was not successful in his last start on Wednesday -- not successful is an understatement, he was charged for seven runs in just 2/3 of an inning against the Yankees -- but has mostly been a strong fantasy option on the mound to go with his spectacular showing at the plate. It will be his last start before the All-Star break, and it'll be interesting to see if we see the two-way star perform both duties in that game, as he was voted the starter at DH for the American League.
Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels Tuesday, July 6, 2021 at 9:38pm EDT Written by Eric P.
The Boston Red Sox stay in Los Angeles to take on the Angels in the second game of their three-game series on Tuesday night from Angel Stadium. The Red Sox enter with the best record in the American League and a stranglehold on the AL East, while the Angels sit all the way back in fourth place in the competitive AL West. They only are 5.5 games back in the Wild Card race and will be looking for a few wins at home to try to slide back into the conversation before the All-Star break. Expect plenty of excitement in Tuesday's matchup as both teams try to set the tone for Wednesday's finale.
Red Sox Are AL's Best After years of poor play after their last World Series title, the Red Sox haven't wasted any time making themselves known in the American League this season. Boston has the best record in the AL and is just behind the Giants and Dodgers for the best record in all of baseball overall. The Red Sox rank third in baseball in runs per game, batting average, and hits per game, and rank in the top half of baseball in runs allowed per game, even without a strong ace at the top of the rotation. One thing that continues to bless the Red Sox is that they've been able to stay healthy, which continues to be a key to this season. Christian Arroyo is likely to see action throughout the rest of the series, but besides him, the offense seems to be in a great place.
The Red Sox have two of the best hitters in baseball and the All-Star roster reflected that which both Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers being named All-Star starters. Bogaerts is hitting .326 on the year with 97 hits and a .388 OBP, while Devers leads in the power category, hitting 20 home runs with 68 RBI. As if those two weren't enough for the Angels on Tuesday night, J.D. Martinez is hitting .303 with 17 home runs and is one of the most solid middle-of-the-lineup guys in baseball. Over the last week, Devers is hitting .346 while Enrique Hernandez is hitting a team-best .360 with three home runs, while the support staff has led the way of late. If the stars can get it going, expect the supporting cast to continue to provide as the Red Sox provides runs yet again on the road.
Nathan Eovaldi will take the ball on Tuesday night, according to MLB.com, as he looks to improve on his 9-4 record and 3.41 ERA. Eovaldi, who has struggled with allowing the long ball over the course of his career, now leads the league with only 0.4 home runs per nine innings, which has helped him continue to stay in the win column. Eovaldi has already made one start against the Angels this season, allowing four runs and six hits in five innings, as the Red Sox took the loss. He has won two starts in a row though, combining for 14.2 innings, allowing 12 hits and only one run, walking none and striking out 12, as he finds himself pitching his best baseball of the last few years heading into Tuesday's game.
Angels Riding Ohtani's All Star High Shohei Ohtani made news over the weekend as he was named to the All-Star roster as both a player and pitcher. The Angels know though that it takes far more than just Ohtabi to find wins this season, as they find themselves near the bottom of the AL West, even despite multiple threats on the offensive side of things. The Angels love the long ball, ranking fourth in home runs per game, and that has allowed them to stay in games all season long, though they remain quite a ways off from a pitching side of things. Dexter Fowler remains out for the season, but Mike Trout remains unavailable as does Anthony Rendon, in all liklihood. The big question coming into Tuesday is the status of Justin Upton, who remains questionable through the series but whose offense can make or break Tuesday's game.
The Angels have relied on the bat of Ohtani, who leads the team with 31 home runs, which is best in baseball, with an additional 67 RBI, third in baseball. With Ohtani taking the mound on Tuesday though, it remains to be seen how the offense dips due to that. David Fletcher has picked up the pace as we approach the All-Star break, leading the team with a .284 batting average and 87 hits. One player to keep an eye on is Jare Walsh, second on the team with 20 home runs, and has been a crucial contributor to ensuring that the Angels don't find themselves in last place.
Ohtani is slated to get the ball against the Red Sox on Tuesday, according to MLB.com, as he looks to recover from his brutal last outing. Ohtani only has three wins, sitting at 3-1, but has seen his ERA blossom over the last week, now sitting at 3.60 after his last outing. The long ball has been an issue for Ohtani, allowing a league-high 31 home runs on the season so far and a league-best .704 slugging percentage, which allows for him to be adept at some bad performances. He's yet to start against Boston this season but allowed seven runs in less than an inning of work the last time out against the Yankees. If Ohtani is anything like he was last time out, the Red Sox have a good chance at putting up a large number against the Angels.
Red Sox at Angels Tuesday, at 9:38 PM EST Clear According to Forecast.io, it's expected to be 75° F with a 0% chance of precipitation and 7 MPH wind blowing out in Anaheim at 9:38 PM EST. Hourly Forecasts: Weather.com Forecast.io

Chris Cotillo @chriscotillo · 6m Chris Sale threw yesterday in Fort Myers. 2-inning live BP/simulated game.
Next: One final simulated game in Fort Myers. Then comes a rehab assignment.
Cora thinks Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) will avoid the IL. Probably unavailable tonight.
This is Connor Wong's third career start in the majors. One was against Cole, now he gets Ohtani. Tough luck.
