After nearly two weeks off the mound due to a sprained ankle, Shohei Ohtani was a bit surprised about how he felt. Ohtani (3-1) made his first start on the mound since April 24 and looked to be completely in rhythm and showed no effects. Ohtani was able to keep the ball down in the strike zone against a Mariners lineup that typically fares well against fastball pitchers. It was 6-0 going into the seventh, and Ohtani had been nearly flawless before running into trouble after a lengthy break on the bench. Mariners: LHP James Paxton (1-1) will get the start on Tuesday when the Mariners open a series in Toronto.
