By LARRY LAGE (AP Sports Writer) DETROIT (AP) — Shohei Ohtani threw his first shutout in Major League Baseball in the first game of a doubleheader and hit two homers in the next, helping the Los Angeles Angels beat the Detroit Tigers twice on Thursday to sweep a three-game series. Ohtani, though, gave the Angels a scare when he left the second game due to cramps that led to him grimacing after hitting his 38th homer in the fourth inning. “He’ll get some fluids in him and he’ll be fine,” manager Phil Nevin said. He pitched a one-hitter and struck out eight as the Angels beat Detroit 6-0 in the first game and then cleared the fences twice in an 11-4 victory for the surging team’s ninth win in 11 games. Ohtani became the first major league player to throw a shutout in one game of a doubleheader and hit a homer — much less two — in the other. “He probably had the greatest day of baseball that anybody’s ever seen today,” said right-hander Matt Manning, who gave up both homers to Ohtani.
