May 28 (UPI) -- Shohei Ohtani expressed anger after a start against the Colorado Rockies, despite not allowing a hit over six innings in the Los Angeles Dodgers win.
Ohtani's ERA escalated from 0.73 to 0.82 with the pristine performance Wednesday in Los Angeles. He threw 56 of his 99 pitches for strikes. Ohtani allowed one run, while issuing seven strikeouts and four walks to improve to 5-2 this season.
"I was just battling the lack of command I had throughout the night," Ohtani told reporters.
Ohtani struck out Rockies center fielder Jake McCarthy on three pitches to start the outing. He issued his first walk in the first inning, but escaped the inning unscathed.
