Box Score of the Week

Goin' way, way back to 1921 when the Detroit Tigers took on the New York Yankees.

---------------------------------------

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim rookie phenom Shohei Ohtani was the starting (and winning) pitcher in his club's April 1 game vs. Oakland. The next game he played in was two days later as the Angels' DH against Cleveland. Ohtani hit a home run in that game, becoming the first player since Babe Ruth in 1921 to win a game as a starting pitcher one day and then hit a home run the following game he played. 

This week's featured game is where Ruth homered a day after notching a victory as a starting pitcher.
