Ohtani with the perfect water bottle spray, a breakdown
What Happened
Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels and the Chicago White Sox engage in a thrilling back-and-forth affair. The Angels jump out to a 3-0 lead, but the White Sox battle back, taking advantage of multiple Angels errors and wild pitches to tie the game at 3-3 in the late innings. In the bottom of the 9th, rookie infielder Jared Walsh steps to the plate for the Angels. He had earlier hit a go-ahead home run and now with the game knotted, he works the count full against White Sox pitcher Kendall Graveman. Graveman tries to sneak a fastball past Walsh, but the young slugger is ready, launching a towering blast to left-center field to give the Angels a dramatic 4-3 walk-off victory. As Walsh celebrates his game-winning heroics, the cameras capture a hilarious moment. Ohtani, who earlier pitched and homered for the Angels, mischievously sprays Iglesias, the Angels' closer, with a water bottle, getting him right in the face. Iglesias, who nearly blew the save, laughs it off as Ohtani playfully celebrates the win. The game was a back-and-forth thriller, with the Angels jumping out to an early lead only to see the White Sox rally late. Ohtani, the Angels' two-way superstar, was at the center of the action, contributing on the mound and at the plate. His water bottle stunt on Iglesias provided a lighthearted moment that capped off an exciting game between these two talented teams. White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito, who is a guest on the Chris Rose Rotation podcast, is sure to have plenty to say about this thrilling series opener between his squad and the Angels. Listeners will likely be eager to hear Giolito's perspective on Ohtani's dominant performance and the wild finish to the game.

come home for the trailing runner ohtani
gets leveled
