Ohtani Lifts Rockies to 13-5 Win
The performance of Shohei Ohtani proved critical in helping Colorado beat St. Louis, 13-5. The Rockies left fielder was 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 and driving in 4. Pedro Avila picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 6 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 1-0. The loss makes the Cardinals 10-20.

Ohtani contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Colorado in the bottom of the first. With his team trailing 1-0, Ohtani took a fastball from Jack Flaherty and stroked the home run to right. His 9th home run of the season allowed the Rockies to leap in front, 2-1.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Ohtani told the Colorado Herald.
