ST. LOUIS -- Two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani reached another superhuman achievement Wednesday night, striking out 13 batters to reach 500 in his career, which made him just the second player in AL/NL history to record 500 strikeouts as a pitcher and 100 homers as a hitter, joining Hall of Famer Babe Ruth.
But Ohtani also showed hes human, as he struggled through a three-run fourth inning and gave up four runs over five innings in a second straight tough outing. But Jake Lamb and Mike Trout both homered in the ninth to lead the Angels to a 6-4 win and help Ohtani avoid the loss against the Cardinals on Wednesday at Busch Stadium.

You don't find many single saviors of a sport.
I know a guy who has signed ball by him.
I'm green with terrible jealousy. Same color as The Grinch.
