Angels News: Shohei Ohtani Accidentally Hits Teammate & Immediately Comforts Him

How can you not love Ohtani?

The Los Angeles Angels just took two out of three games against their division rivals Seattle Mariners, at home. This series win is their second consecutive series win, and they will now head to Texas to take on the AL West leaders Rangers. 

The offense was on point today, while the pitching of Griffin Canning and company did their job. Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani was spectacular per usual, as he went 3-for-5 with a home run and scored one run and an RBI. He was dominating in the batter's box and even did some damage in the dugout, and not in a good way. 

Ohtani was greeting his teammates and coaches in the dugout and went up to his teammate and infielder Luis Rengifo and accidentally smacked him in the face.

You see, Ohtani immediately comforts his teammate and apologize for the hit. It was clearly an accident, and Rengifo took it as such. I guess you can say Ohtani isn't great at all things. 

Ohtani is not only a great ball player, but he is a tremendous person and friend. We're glad that Rengifo was able to recover and finish the game at third base today for the Angels.
