Shohei Ohtani Surrenders First Home Runs in Loss to Astros

Shohei Ohtani logged his longest start of the season, pitching seven innings in a 2-1 loss to the Astros. Despite being the March/April NL Pitcher of the Month, he surrendered his first two home runs of the year. Ohtani is balancing a heavy two-way workload, having sat out as a hitter in three of his last four games as he seeks greater consistency at the plate.
