(UPDATE) ANAHEIM, California: Shohei Ohtani became the first American League (AL) pitcher in nearly 60 years to hit two homers and strike out 10 batters in a game, leading the Los Angeles Angels past the Chicago White Sox, 4-2, on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) in his latest extraordinary performance.

Ohtani, who leads the majors with 28 home runs, hit solo shots in the first and seventh innings, the first time he has gone deep twice while also pitching. The superstar from Japan struck out 10 in a 6 1/3-inning start that ended because of a cracked fingernail.
